[oe] [RFC] Allow to limit generated binary locales topredefined list

[Mark Gollahon]

Paul:

This doesn't seem to be working for me.  I've tried:

GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES = "en_US en_US.UTF-8"

GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES = "en_US,ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8,UTF-8"

GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES = "en_US ISO-8859-1,en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8"

in my local.conf file and it gives me this error:

ERROR: Error in executing: /OE/org.openembedded.dev/packages/glibc/glibc_2.5.bb
ERROR: Exception:exceptions.ValueError Message:need more than 1 value to unpack

ERROR:  0065:                   from bb import build

Do I need to use bitbake 1.8.x to get this to work??
