I did try running this on the autobuilder. There are a few issues.

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/62/builds/1816
step1b: ERROR: bzip2-1.0.8-r0 do_package_qa: QA Issue: /usr/lib/bzip2/ptest/bzip2-tests/.git/hooks/fsmonitor-watchman.sample contained in package bzip2-ptest requires /usr/bin/perl, but no providers found in RDEPENDS_bzip2-ptest? [file-rdeps]
step1b: ERROR: bzip2-1.0.8-r0 do_package_qa: QA run found fatal errors. Please consider fixing them.

also, the new license (GPLv3) causes problems:
