[OE-core] [PATCH 0/1][v3] Automatically generate package repos for rpmand deb [bug #1024]

[Dexuan Cui]

From: Dexuan Cui <dexuan.cui at intel.com>

This was made to address http://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1024.

Thanks a lot to RP and Saul's suggestions, the patch becomes much cleaner now.

As to DEB, I found currently in target, some important config files, like
/etc/apt/sources.list, for deb/apt are missing. As a result, we can't
install/remove package in target at all.
I tried to resolve this by add "deb http://192.168.7.1/deb/all/ ./" into
target's /etc/apt/sources.list, but later "apt-get update" failes -- it
tries to find a file named Packages.gz, but the direcory only has
Packages.bz2 -- not sure why apt-get here doesn't try to find Packages.bz2
when it can't find Packages.gz and do_rootfs does succeed with Packages.bz2.
Later after I tried to manually generate Packages.gz from Packages.bz2 and did
"mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/; mkdir -p /var/log/apt/",
"apt-get update" and "apt-get remove" finally can work, but "apt-get install"
could still fail: "package architecture (arm) does not match system (armel)".
The issues need more effort to be fixed.
