Re: SDK missing qemu 'user' backend type. #kirkstone #sdk

Hi Yocto community,

I figured out what happened, hopefully this is useful to anyone.

We did use parts from the meta-cloud-service repository, to be specific the meta-openstack. That layer has a qemu_6.%.bbappend file which assigns the qemu packageconfig.
(that append file only includes the qemu inc file if the openstack is enabled in the distro features).
The Yocto qemu recipe only has a soft assignment to the packageconfig so the one from the meta-openstack layer is getting used which did not include slirp and other options.
So I removed the openstack from the distro features and behold, it works as expected.

I don't know if this is a bug or just a feature, but I leave that up to you (perhaps Yocto can assign the packageconfig a bit stronger?).
