Well, there are two aspects:
1) We need the concrete information on what was tested; we've been collecting
this on the following wiki page:
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Distribution_Support
So, I'm not the person that sets policy on this (I'm not sure we have a policy
yet) but thinking off the top of my head, ideally a Poky build of core-image-
sato should run "out of the box" (after installation of necessary packages,
that is) with no hacks, although if we are able to document any necessary
changes clearly I suspect even that shouldn't be an issue.
2) More practically we need to know what the ID string is for the distro. The
code in sanity.bbclass looks at /etc/redhat-release, /etc/SuSE-release,
/etc/lsb-release etc. to determine this.
FWIW I agree that CentOS should be on the list but I do not have a system
running it to test, and I was missing the above information when I put
together the patch. If you're confident that it works well for builds and can
help with the above then I'm sure we can add it.
Cheers,
Paul
