Clean it's just a "clean". As in "make clean". So after a clean

I have tried clean, cleansstate and cleanall.
All of them remove the source directory.
if you are talking about ${S} then yes but relevant content in ${DL_DIR} are 
only removed
with cleanall


Yes, when I work on the kernel, I do not want to restart from unpack.
I would like to edit the existing ${S}and then restart a compile.
Once the compile succeeds, I want to deploy.
Once the kernel does what it is supposed to, I generate a patch
which is then added to the recipe.

At that time, I want to cleansstate and rebuild/retest.
To come around this problem right now, my kernel recipe generates a script
in ${S}, which will compile the kernel image and then copies it directly
to my tftp directory.

If I try to use XorA's method of testing out the kernel
http://www.xora.org.uk/2009/12/10/openembeddedangstrom-kernel-workflow/
then it fails since a recompile of the source will fail to update
dependencies.
If i bitbake -c compile virtual/kernel -f a
and then
bitbake virtual/kernel
then the previous build will be used.

Is it at all possible now to recompile, without having to clean out
everything,
and start from scratch?
