Description Paul Eggleton 2018-09-02 21:06:21 UTC

With the advent of uninative (and it being enabled by default in poky), NATIVELSBSTRING isn't really the right variable to be triggering a rerun of the sanity.bbclass tests on since it's always the same when uninative is active. We need to be using a different variable that actually represents the host distro.

Comment 1 Ross Burton 2018-09-26 12:10:03 UTC

The sanity code already looks at lsb_distro_identifier() instead of ${NATIVELSBSTRING}, so I'm not sure if this is a valid bug.

Comment 2 Ross Burton 2018-09-26 13:09:20 UTC

Closing as the code appears to do this already.  Paul, please re-open if there's a detail I didn't consider.
