Two Questions: How do I force Armbian/build to rebuild the kernel ? And where does the kernel get cached ?

[AaronNGray]

Two Questions:

 

How do I force Armbian/build to rebuild the kernel ?

 

 - Is there a `./compiler.sh` flag ?

 

And where does the kernel get cached ?

 

 - Is it cached online ?

 - is it cached on kernel, kernel version, and kernel config hash ?

 

I am trying to get a proper handle on Armbian/build.

 

BTW: There really needs to be a `kernel` tag on Armbian Forum's - `Create New Topic`.

Check for ARTIFACT_IGNORE_CACHE

diy packages are locally cached. automated packages from the CI are stored online in ghcr.

not only this, also the status of build framework internals (like stuff in https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/main/lib/functions) since they also can alter a package.

"development" should be sufficient.
