[PATCH v1] glibc-locale: work around host-user-contaminated QA failure

[PATCH v1] glibc-locale: work around host-user-contaminated QA failure

[Muhammad Hamza]

Work around long standing periodic host-user-contaminated QA failure by
explicitly correcting the ownership.

See `glibc-locale: Rewrite do_install using install utility instead of cp`
on the oe-core mailing list for discussion. This should be dropped when
a real fix is implemented.

Explicitly disable host-user-contaminated to further work around the
pseudo bug. With pseudo acting up, even if the ownership is correct, it
may well think it is not, so just sidestep the issue until upstream
fixes the root cause.

Given the append/remove override syntax used here, I guess this patch is 
aimed at an older Yocto release, and shouldn't be necessary for master ?

At a quick search I couldn't find the email you reference so it
probably isn't recent. As Jacob mentions, this syntax is invalid for
master.

Was this not fixed properly by something like:

https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?id=2e75c084f2cfe7617de3b9a4b006caa3fee687a6

?

We're definitely not taking this without more details on what is going
on and a correct patch as this looks like a workaround.

Cheers,

Richard

[Hamza, Muhammad]

Hello, my bad, yes these changes are on some older branch and don't need upstream.

Thanks,
Hamza
