[bitbake-devel] [PATCH v2 6/9] fetch2: Fix missing output from stderr in fetcher logs

There are actually two problems to fix

1) The exception for bb.process.ExecutionError must be processed first
   because it is a derived from the bb.process.CmdError class and
   we never reach the ExecutionError otherwise.

2) The stderr needs to be printed as well as stdout to determine
   the root cause of a fetch failure.

The example I have is that I got a log that looked like:

--
ERROR: Function failed: Network access disabled through
  BB_NO_NETWORK but access requested with command
   /usr/bin/env wget -t 5 -nv --passive-ftp --no-check-certificate -P
   /localds 'http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/[...CLIPPED...] url None)
--

That really didn't tell me much, but with this patch I get error above
plus the following:

--
STDERR: /net/[...CLIPPED...]kernel-tools.git: Read-only file system
--

Having the ability to see that the build was trying to write to a
read-only file system was a good clue that the fetcher is broken in
some other way to be fixed in a follow on patch, but let us fix the
logging problem first.
