[OE-core] [PATCH 0/2] support numeric owner/group tar image format

[Peter A. Bigot]

A classic approach to building SD card images with varying rootfs sizes
is to create the filesystem and unpack a tar rootfs image onto it.  When
done outside pseudo the encoded user and group names from the tar file
are converted to identifiers using host files, which often result in
incorrect assignment for common names like messagebus and ntp.

A solution is to create the rootfs archive using the numeric values
obtained from the target /etc files under pseudo, rather than the
corresponding names.  This series provides this function as a new image
file format "nug.tar".

Peter A. Bigot (2):
  image_types.bbclass: whitespace and reorder
  image_types.bbclass: add tar --numeric-owner support
