[OE-core] [PATCH 0/5] patches to fix deb packaging: bug 1070

[Dexuan Cui]

The DEB packaging for core-image-sato-sdk(previously called poky-image-sdk) and
meta-toolchain-gmae(previously called meta-toolchain-sdk) has been broken for
quite a long period of time -- at least it was broken in Oct 2010 (I didn't try
to test older commits).

The patches try to improve the situation.

With the patches, core-image-sato-sdk for qemu{x86, x86-64, ppc, mips} can
build fine, but qemuarm still has a do_rootfs issue:
| The following packages have unmet dependencies:
|   task-base-extended: Depends: task-base but it is not going to be installed

And, meta-toolchain-gmae is still broken. The error is:
| + apt-get install task-sdk-host-nativesdk --force-yes --allow-unauthenticated
| Reading package lists...
| Building dependency tree...
| Reading state information...
| E: Couldn't find package task-sdk-host-nativesdk

I'm working on the left issues.

Does anybody know if OE has the similar issue or not?
Any comment/suggestions for the patch and left isseus are appreciated.

Thanks!
