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 -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre
