[oe] OpenEmbedded Layer Index autobuild errors

[Daniel Dickinson]

Hi,

Since it wasn't clear from my last posting about this issue, that the
issued described was that the recipe parsing for the three pre-alpha
layers I submitted recently triggered an error condition (missing
HOSTTOOLS) which isn't something that's an issue with the layer or
recipes (or so I'm given to understand), I'm reposing the error message
and this request for the hosts to get the necessary packages so the
layer index can be updated.

Layers are:

meta-cshored - small distro along the lines of poky-tiny but for
read-only-rootfs and taking advantage of the following layers:

meta-earlyinit - instead of initramfs run 'earlyinit' to prepare things
for the main init and which runs from the kerne-mounted rootfs.

meta-runit-init - use busybox 'runit' commands as the main init.


The error message is:
