<title>Build History SDK Information</title>
-The files that get copied in are controlled by the BUILDHISTORY_SDK_FILES variable. Default is to copy the local.conf, bblayers.conf, auto.conf, lockdef.inc, devtool.conf. There is a "conf" directory under "sdk" that has these files.

<para>
Build history collects similar information on the contents
of SDKs (e.g. <filename>meta-toolchain</filename>
or <filename>bitbake -c populate_sdk imagename</filename>)
as compared to information it collects for images.
- The following list shows the files produced for each SDK:
+ Furthermore, this information differs depending on whether an
+ extensible or standard SDK is being produced.

+ The following list shows the files produced for SDKs:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><filename>files-in-sdk.txt:</filename>
A list of files in the SDK with permissions,
about the SDK.
See the following listing example for more information.
</para></listitem>
- <listitem><para><filename>sstate-task-sizes:</filename>
- A folder containing files that show the sizes of task
- groups (e.g. <filename>do_sysroot</filename> tasks has
- a total size).
+ <listitem><para><filename>sstate-task-sizes.txt:</filename>
+ A text file containing name-value pairs with information
+ about task group sizes
+ (e.g. <filename>do_populate_sysroot</filename> tasks
+ have a total size).
+ The <filename>sstate-task-sizes.txt</filename> file
+ exists only when an extensible SDK is created.
</para></listitem>
- <listitem><para><filename>sstate-package-sizes:</filename>
- A folder containing files that show the shared-state
- packages in the SDK.
+ <listitem><para><filename>sstate-package-sizes.txt:</filename>
+ A text file containing name-value pairs with information
+ for the shared-state packages and sizes in the SDK.
+ The <filename>sstate-package-sizes.txt</filename> file
+ exists only when an extensible SDK is created.
</para></listitem>
- <listitem><para><filename>conf:</filename>
- A folder containing the
- <filename>local.conf</filename>,
- <filename>bblayers.conf</filename>,
- <filename>auto.conf</filename>,
- <filename>lockdef.inc</filename>, and
- <filename>devtool.conf</filename> files.
- By default, these files get copied into the
- <filename>sdk</filename> directory.
- You can control the files that get copied into this
- directory by setting the
- <filename>BUILDHISTORY_SDK_FILES</filename> variable.
+ <listitem><para><filename>sdk-files:</filename>
+ A folder that contains copies of the files mentioned in
+ <filename>BUILDHISTORY_SDK_FILES</filename> if the
+ files are present in the output.
+ Additionally, the default value of
+ <filename>BUILDHISTORY_SDK_FILES</filename> is specific
+ to the extensible SDK although you can set it
+ differently if you would like to pull in specific files
+ from the standard SDK.</para>
+ <para>The default files are
+ <filename>conf/local.conf</filename>,
+ <filename>conf/bblayers.conf</filename>,
+ <filename>conf/auto.conf</filename>,
+ <filename>conf/locked-sigs.inc</filename>, and
+ <filename>conf/devtool.conf</filename>.
+ Thus, for an extensible SDK, these files get copied
+ into the <filename>sdk-files</filename> directory.

<listitem><para>The following information appears under
each of the <filename>host</filename>
and <filename>target</filename> directories
for the portions of the SDK that run on the host and
on the target, respectively:

+ The following files for the most part are empty
