Hi,

There have been various comments on the list and in the bugzilla about
issues with "all" architecture recipes.

To start cleaning this up I've merged:

http://git.openembedded.net/cgit.cgi/openembedded-core/commit/?id=26e5e5feb695864b11e47e24017e254c28f14494

which creates an "allarch" class and starts to convert some recipes over
to using it. There is further information in the commit message. Use of
the class ensures the packages really are suitable for all architectures
and that the sstate packages are reusable.

The list of packages which still need attention are:

meta/recipes-connectivity/resolvconf/resolvconf_1.48.bb                 
meta/recipes-devtools/update-alternatives/update-alternatives-dpkg.inc  
meta/recipes-gnome/gnome/gnome-common_2.28.0.bb                         
meta/recipes-gnome/gnome/gnome-icon-theme_2.31.0.bb                     
meta/recipes-gnome/hicolor-icon-theme/hicolor-icon-theme_0.12.bb        
meta/recipes-graphics/ttf-fonts/liberation-fonts_1.04.bb                
meta/recipes-graphics/ttf-fonts/liberation-fonts_1.06.bb                
meta/recipes-graphics/ttf-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera_1.10.bb              
meta/recipes-graphics/xcursor-transparent-theme/xcursor-transparent-theme_0.1.1.bb
meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-font/encodings_1.0.4.bb                      
meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-font/font-alias_1.0.3.bb                     
meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-font/font-util_1.2.0.bb                      
meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-font/xorg-font-common.inc                    
meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-font/xorg-minimal-fonts.bb                   
meta/recipes-kernel/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_git.bb                
meta/recipes-sato/sato-icon-theme/sato-icon-theme.inc                   
meta/recipes-sato/sato-icon-theme/sato-icon-theme_0.4.1.bb              
meta/recipes-support/hal/hal-info.inc                                   

Some of these are easy, some trigger configure tests for the cross
compiler and are harder to fix.

If a package can't use allarch.bbclass, its a strong indicator it
shouldn't be PACKAGE_ARCH = "all"...

Cheers,

Richard
