Poor first impression

Poor first impression

[Gary Thomas]

I just tried to run Poky/Yocto on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 system.  I knew there would
be missing bits and have seen the "sanity" messages in the past, so I thought I'd
just carry on.  Today's experience was not pretty and would it not for my experience
with this, I would have been very perplexed...

Here's what I saw:

Hey Gary, was this on a 1.4 / Danny Branch or master?  Richard may have 
done something with master when he made some of the Python3 changes.

Sau!

Definitely worth updating again, there were some incompatibility with
Python 2.6 that were fixed yesterday.

No change, sorry.  This only happens when 'git' is not installed
and is very easy to reproduce.

I tested on Ubuntu 12.04 and Fedora 17

There are two issues there, firstly the scripts/bitbake binary is doing
a really bad job, secondly, one of the improved debugging patches I
added to bitbake, regressed things in this case.

I posted a patch to bitbake last night, I've just posted a fix for
scripts/bitbake now. These two together should improve this. I agree
that particular error would create a poor first impression, thanks for
reporting it.

Cheers,

Richard

With this patch, no 'git' and a fresh build I still get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/local/poky-multi/bitbake/bin/bitbake", line 293, in <module>
     ret = main()

Still not very pretty.

Did you apply both patches, the one for bitbake and the one for OE-Core?
This looks like the bitbake one is missing.

Sorry, I missed that since they went to different mailing lists.

The output is much cleaner with the other patch.

Thanks
