Triggering Action/Cause ----------------------- Install into a home directory of a user(not system user) a file with the USER as owner. Expectation ----------- No warning should be trigger. Actual Result ------------- do_package_qa: QA Issue: package: /home/user/user.xml is owned by uid 1000, which is the same as the user running bitbake. This may be due to host contamination [host-user-contaminated] Reproducibility --------------- 20/20 I think the check in the insane.bbclass is not correct: dest = d.getVar('PKGDEST') pn = d.getVar('PN') home = os.path.join(dest, 'home') if path == home or path.startswith(home + os.sep): return Because the path, as far as I checked, will never start with 'home/' and the other comparison will only be valid for the home directory on the target but not for anything inside of home. But the comment and the reference manual states: "host-user-contaminated: Checks that no package produced by the recipe contains any files outside of /home with a user or group ID that matches the user running BitBake." 87148 1 tvgamblin 2020-05-06 06:34:19 +0000 Hi, Can you provide more info on the steps you took? It's not clear to me what your objective is. 87173 2 h4nn35.work 2020-05-07 10:14:04 +0000 My objective is to install a file into a user directory like /home/user/user.xml which has user ownership. It is similar to what is done in https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta-skeleton/recipes-skeleton/useradd/useradd-example.bb The difference is that I don't set the user id and so it starts at 1000 and most of the time this is same user id as used on the build system. 87512 3 ross.burton 2020-06-18 08:01:26 +0000 In this case you *want* a non-root UID, so the solution would be to skip this QA test: INSANE_SKIP_${PN} += "host-user-contaminated"
