We already mention COMMERCIAL_LICENSE in the NoProvider error message. Is that not sufficient? (We also output a backtrace which is not useful, but that's another issue that I hope Scott will be able to fix for 1.2.) Probably it is a duplicated bug, I agree, but we met in NAS development. I think this is under the umbrella of error handling enhancement in v1.2. Shane, I have the feeling this bug has been fixed already. Can you confirm this, or give me steps to reproduce the issue? We're now using LICENSE_FLAGS rather than COMMERCIAL_LICENSE for this; however the error message has been improved: $ bitbake mpeg2dec ... ... ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'mpeg2dec' ERROR: mpeg2dec was skipped: because it has a restricted license not whitelisted in LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST Thus I'm marking this as resolved. The error messages are more user-friendly and intuitive.
Marking this as verified. Feel free to reopen if you would like to improve the error messages.
