[arago/yocto-1.3] crda and python-m2crypto

[Christian Gagneraud <chgans@gna.org>]

Hi,

While building an image with arago-stable/yocto-1.3, I encountered an error:
DEBUG: Executing shell function do_compile
NOTE: make -j 8 MAKEFLAGS= all_noverify
   GEN  keys-gcrypt.c
   CC   crda.o

On Debian GNU/Linux the package is called "python-m2crypto".

/armv7ahf-vfp-neon-oe-linux-gnueabi/crda-1.1.1-r0/temp/log.do_compile.15753 
for further information)

Basically crda doesn't build because it needs python-m2crypto, i've 
installed it via apt-get and everything was fine then.
This is not documented in [1], [2] nor in [3].

After digging a bit I found that the CRDA recipe comes from 
arago-distro-extras, but it can be found in 
meta-openembedded/meta-networking (on master, not on danny branch) as 
well. Looking at [4], it seems this version would have this dependency 
built by bitbake (python-m2crypto-native), again python-m2crypto-native 
is available only on master, not on danny.

Do you want me to open a bug report somewhere?

Regards,
Chris
