I don't mind adding enough of the changes so that dnf-nativesdk is
buildable so some of your other patches can be merged.

I do not want to add dnf-nativesdk to meta-toolchain by default however
as there are many people who don't need this there. I'd suggest this is
a customisation you'll need to maintain yourselves.

I appreciate why you want to do this, I also believe we have a better
technique in the form of the eSDK, where we can use the same tools and
the same codebase to build for example a rootfs.

The eSDK use case (a locked sstate cache) is designed so that a user
doesn't need to worry about a whole build, or building from scratch.
They can use the same tools everyone else uses and the same workflow
and code to bulld a rootfs or a recipe or any workflow. This makes it
much more powerful and able to fulfil many different use cases compared
to meta-toolchain. In the long run I'd therefore prefer we promote this
and use the eSDK as I think it will become our preferred way of
handling problems like this.

Cheers,

Richard
