[OE-core] [PATCH 1/3] rpm: add support for remote package feeds via PACKAGE_FEED_URIS variable

[Ibarra Lopez, Humberto]

Sorry, missed the previous mail.

I am not sure how to improve the hardcoding there, I don't like it either, but couldn't find an alternative. The thing is that we need the ip of the host as seen from the target to run testimage, but we don’t have the exact value for that one until qemu is up. The issue here is that we need to give this ip to the conf in the PACKAGE_FEED_URIS before building so we can get an image with this var to later use in testimage.

If someone has a better idea to get rid of this hardcoding, it would be great to know.

I don't know. I only followed what Humberto wrote in the original patch; we need to ask him. I'm also not entirely certain that hardcoding the ip address will always work, and did not get an answer to that.

Another, more hackish option is to monkey patch the ephemeral port before running dnf into the repo config on the image.
