Hi,

It doesn't seem to be a particularly volatile area in the code. I refreshed

Xavier's patches for Gatesgarth, and am actively using unchanged patch on
Honisiter.
I don't know how the automated testing is working but I guess for RPM a repo
is generated using a small layer? And then tested on a qemu running the
rootfs?
Should be almost same for deb/apt, maybe could be modified from rpm test?

I think the rpm test is test_testimage_dnf in
meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/runtime_test.py. You'd run it with:

oe-selftest -r runtime_test.TestImage.test_testimage_dnf

I'll have a look.

Grumble. I ran this test but it failed due to needing to run sudo to setup a tap interface (I ran it under screen).

Is there a way to continue this test without first clearing the build-st directory? It take about 2 hours to get to this failure point.

Thanks,

Ferry
