Subject: classes/cargo: remove BUILD_MODE, replace with CARGO_PROFILE
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d4de7d0256aca47cdb1df48640c37221deaa09d4;p=thirdparty%2Fopenembedded%2Fopenembedded-core.git

classes/cargo: remove BUILD_MODE, replace with CARGO_PROFILE

The BUILD_MODE variable appears to be a way to select the Cargo build profile
that is used, but it can't be assigned because it and other pieces of
code base their logic on the value of DEBUG_BUILD.

Instead of a BUILD_MODE variable that is "--release" or "" depending on
the value of DEBUG_BUILD, replace it with a clear CARGO_PROFILE variable
that selects the profile to use. The default has the same behaviour as before:
either "release" or "dev" based on DEBUG_BUILD.

This profile is then passed to cargo, and used to construct paths in the
build tree (with the caveat that the "dev" profile puts files in "debug").
