[oe] What to do about the poor bitbake Quality Control?

This is about the 4th time that I've `rm -rf`-d everything and started from
scratch and never yet got a working `bitbake omap3-console-image`

Every time I `git pull` it's a different set of problems. It's never the
same package twice, but they never all compile for the basic console image
anywhere from 4 to 20 hours in.

Fortunately, I do have a machine that did build omap3-console-image a few
weeks ago at work. But I've never been able to get it on my machine at home
(same os) to start playing around with.

What needs to happen in order for things to git checked that they work with
at least a few common meta-tasks before being pushed out?
And is there anything I can do to help? (Donate some machine time to run
tests, for example)


Obviously, we all have our day jobs and whatnot, but this is becoming really
frustrating for me and I'd like to see things improve.
