[OE-core] [RFC PATCH 0/1] QA check for defined packages

[Joshua Lock]

Folks,

I'm looking for some comments on this WIP patch.

The reason I've added this is because the hob GUI requires us to offer much
more reliable metadata - we show the user available packages, as defined by
each recipe, to add to their image. Should a recipe define a package and yet
not actually create it and the user has included that in their image we cause
errors at build time.

However whilst the idea seems sound enough, there are some caveats - running
a world build with this patch I see failures fairly early on at least a few
of which I'd expect we'll need to special-case:
* eglibc-local
* linux-yocto
* linux-libc-headers
* gcc-runtime

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Joshua
