[PATCH] allarch.bbclass: Set FEED_ARCH to 'allarch'

[PATCH] allarch.bbclass: Set FEED_ARCH to 'allarch'

[Khem Raj]

PACKAGE_ARCH is set to BASE_PACKAGE_ARCH so we do not
need to define it here since we already define BASE_PACKAGE_ARCH

Additionally set FEED_ARCH to 'allarch' some distros e.g.
angstrom sets FEED_ARCH like

FEED_ARCH ?= "${BASE_PACKAGE_ARCH}"

and 'all' doesnt go well for FEED_ARCH as it ends up with
parsing error for x86 machines.

This might be a latent bug in bitbake but allarch.bbclass
excavated it and we burry it in the same class.

That would break all existing feeds and feed-configs, which I don't think is acceptable.

Um?  Surely if FEED_ARCH is defined in terms of B_P_A then just setting
the latter variable ought to be enough.  Why do you need to set both?

That sounds a bit odd as well.  I wouldn't have expected any value of
FEED_ARCH to result in parsing errors.  What actually goes wrong?
