You must have built a fairly minimal system to not have vi present. I can't recall what recipe needed vi, but maybe we should move it to the nonfatal list. CCing RP as I suspect he can remember what recipe wanted vi. 71426 2 brian.avery 2017-03-17 23:10:11 +0000 the cvs build which is part of the sdktest in meta/lib/oeqa/runtime/cases/buildcvs.py needs it when it configures cvs (cvs wants an editor for messages). i have a switch to use cpio as the sdktest which I'll send in once i can test it. then we can drop vi from the list completely. On a separate note, we could consider moving *all* of the testimage requirements to nonfatal or even making a third category HOSTTOOLS_EXTENDED, and warn that some functionality beyond building may fail if the needed programs are not available. 71427 3 brian.avery 2017-03-18 15:08:06 +0000 patch on ml to switch to cpio. Will take and close if RP ok with the switch. 71608 4 brian.avery 2017-03-22 20:32:08 +0000 fixed in master: af994bfcfddb2e17d9adc13fd13870731c5ee6c7 We switched the sdk test from cvs (which needed vi) to cpio (which doesn't)
