:term:`SPDX_INCLUDE_COMPILED_SOURCES`
This option allows the same as :term:`SPDX_INCLUDE_SOURCES` but including
only the sources used to compile the host tools and the target packages.
While :term:`SPDX_INCLUDE_SOURCES` includes all files in the source
directory as source file descriptions, :term:`SPDX_INCLUDE_COMPILED_SOURCES`
includes only the sources that are used to produce the binaries delivered
as packages. The source files that are not used during compilation are not
included in the SBOM. It uses debugsource information generated during
``do_package`` to filter out source files.
This enables an external tool to use the SPDX information to disregard
vulnerabilities that are not compiled in the packages.
Enable this option as follows::
SPDX_INCLUDE_COMPILED_SOURCES = "1"
According to our tests, building ``core-image-minimal`` for the
``qemux86-64`` machine, enabling this option compared with the
:term:`SPDX_INCLUDE_SOURCES` reduces the size of the ``tmp/deploy/spdx``
directory from 2GB to 1.6GB.
:term:`SPDX_NAMESPACE_PREFIX`
This option could be used in order to change the prefix of ``spdxDocument``
and the prefix of ``documentNamespace``. It is set by default to
