[yocto] difference between DEPLOYDIR vs D

[Davis Roman]

Hello,

I'm trying to understand the correlation between the $DEPLOYDIR and $D
variables.

They both seem very similar.

Do files from DEPLOYDIR eventually get copied to D in order to finally make
its way into the final package?

If so, why bother with DEPLOYDIR and instead just copy straight into D?

Thank you,

Davis

IIrc DEPLOYDIR contents get copied to DEPLOY_DIR by sstate for the
do_deploy task. I.e. tmp/deploy/. This is independent of packaging.
