Hello. After checking out poky:master
0c0bb02f5104e3856c9d90088e1ece08652cc19f we suddenly experience the
following error coming from one of our recipes. We never observed this
before doing the poky uplift. Any hints to what might cause this?

I can see this:

Exception: ExpansionError: Failure expanding variable SUMMARY,
expression was ${SUMMARY} - Debugging files which triggered exception
Exception: variable SUMMARY references itself!

But even if I somewhat understand what it is trying to tell me,at the
same time I do not really understand what can be done about it :(

What does your SUMMARY line look like in your lmc_1.0.bb recipe?

That's an easy one ;) It is not set at all. But digging deeper into
this problem gave me the solution.
The lmc.bb is a recipe that does not actually build anything. It is
thus very similar to e.g. the package-index.bb.
So, what I did was to instead use that recipe as a base and now it works :)
More precisely, what we did before was

do_package[noexec] = "1"
do_packagedata[noexec] = "1"
do_populate_sysroot[noexec] = "1"

But it seems that is not enough, we also need to tell it not to run

do_package_write[noexec] = "1"
do_package_write_ipk[noexec] = "1"
do_package_write_rpm[noexec] = "1"
do_package_write_deb[noexec] = "1"

The incorrect assumption we made was that do_package[data] on top
level would also drag in all the sub-functions which seems not to be
the case. So with all these set to noexec the error is gone! I do have
one more question. I can see in package-index.bb the following being
set

INHIBIT_DEFAULT_DEPS = "1"
PACKAGES = ""
EXCLUDE_FROM_WORLD = "1"

Is this something that is recommended to be used for recipes like
this? Or can we safely leave them out?
