Just to update on this, Koen is using distribute_sources which adds a
do_distribute_sources task. This is why things are working on master but
not for Koen.

That task runs later and causes do_setscene to rerun which cleans out
the sysroot rather helpfully assuming that all tasks for that recipe
will rerun which isn't true.

This branch has some proposed changes to make this work better:

http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=rpurdie/misc2

and Koen is testing them to see how they work out.

Cheers,

Richard
