M4 rc1 build prerequisites

M4 rc1 build prerequisites

[Richard Purdie]

I just wanted to give people an idea of where we're at with 2.3. I'm
aware of and would like to see the following issues fixed:

a) runqemu and other tools failing in various circumstances due to RSS.

b) DISTRO_FEATURES contaminating native/nativesdk builds, we need 
   separate configuration of these.

c) Patrick has found some task checksum changes which are concerning
   and we need to look into.

If anyone has other things they're expecting to see in 2.3 and which
aren't in master-next, you might want to mention them.

I'm meant to be trying to take some vacation which really isn't working
out :(.

Cheers,

Richard

At least for us, who have a lot of recipes that create users/groups, a fix 
for https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11124 is needed.

Currently, if anything happens to invalidates base-passwd without also 
invalidating everything else, we end up in a situation where every other 
recipe fails and the only (simple) solution is to remove tmp and start 
over. Which at least to me is not very nice to the user...

I got some tips from RP and I hope I can work on this and find a solution 
in time for 2.3.

These are the ones assigned to me that are concerning for the release:

* https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11284 - seems to be mostly 
addressed

* https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10992 - worked on this 
today, I have a fix, just sorting out some minor details

* https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11300 - still not much 
clue what's going wrong with this one.

* https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11275 - looked into this a 
bit, not quite sure of the solution. I can fix it for the basic case where an 
error occurs on startup, but it's much harder for log messages that occur 
during running a task.

Cheers,
Paul
