Description Tim Orling 2016-09-01 22:40:51 UTC 
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#fedora-packages

OpenEmbedded Self-Test (oe-selftest): Packages needed if you are going to run oe-selftest:

now wrong:
     $ sudo dnf install GitPython

correct:
     $ sudo dnf install python3-GitPython

Fedora's python package naming is confusing in this case. The instructions say to install GitPython, but that is a python2 package. The python3 package is named python3-GitPython.

Tim, 

See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#fedora-packages for the change. 

Let me know if this is good. 

Thanks, 
Scott
Comment 2 Tim Orling 2016-09-01 23:13:13 UTC 
Yes.

Also, Essentials should say python3 rather than python. Sorry I didn't catch it earlier.

Tim, 

See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html#packages for the fix in the YP Quick Start.

See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#fedora-packages for the fix in the YP Reference Manual.

These particular packages are a variable that gets expanded when the manual's build.

Thanks,
Scott
