I want to force-recompile a package, like that:
bitbake -f -c compile mypackage
However, I also want all following tasks to be executed (like install, package, etc.), just as if I had called bitbake mypackage from a completely clean state. Can this be done in one step, rather than the following two?
bitbake -f -c compile mypackage
bitbake mypackage
Or as an alternative solution, can I somehow "taint" the compile-task, such that executing bitbake mypackage does everything from compilation onwards?

BitBake recipes specify how a particular package is built. Recipes consist of the source URL (http, https, ftp, cvs, svn, git, local file system) of the package, dependencies and compile or install options. They also store the metadata for the package in standard variables.
The bitbake command builds platform projects, application source, and packages. BitBake is the overall control program, which manages builds of all the packages and of the overall system. It builds platform projects, application source, and packages.
This command will clean up your tmp dir for the given package. It is very useful if you work on a new . bb recipe. Without it your changes to the recipe may not work.
This is exactly what -C is for:
bitbake -C compile mypackage
This will run mypackage:do_build and force mypackage:do_compile to execute. Strictly speaking, it taints mypackage:do_compile (so that it has to execute) and then executes mypackage:do_build, which is exactly what you wanted.
