In most cases the series is: fetch, unpack, patch, configure,
compile, install, package, package_write and build.
The default task is "build" and any tasks on which it depends build first - hence,
If you wish to run a task that is not part of the default build chain you can use the
"-c" option in bitbake as follows:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
-$ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c devshell
+ $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c devshell

+ [make some changes to the source code in the WORKDIR]

You can view a list of tasks in a given package by running the listtasks task.
For example:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
-$ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c
+ $ bitbake matchbox-desktop -c
</literallayout>
The results are in the file <filename>${WORKDIR}/temp/log.do_listtasks</filename>.
