[meta-browser] Browser blacklists

[meta-browser] Browser blacklists

[Gary Thomas]

I notice that both firefox and chromium are currently blacklisted
as "fails to build with gcc-6".  What about those of us that aren't
using gcc-6?  This seems an overly broad blacklisting :-(

You can easily unblacklist them in your configuration where you also
change the gcc version, but they are broken in default configuration, so
they are blacklisted.

I ran into this as well and had to spend some time figuring out how to get around it.
Some sort of note in the readme or even commit message about how to get around it would have been nice.

On a related side note it would be nice to get krogoth branch/tag before this blacklist.
I saw there isn't one currently and it would give people a working tag that isn't as old as jethro.

Add the following to your distro's conf or local.conf 

#Stop the blacklist due to broken gcc6
PNBLACKLIST[chromium] = ""
