Description Paul Eggleton 2012-05-04 17:08:44 UTC

Refine the list of host packages that need to be installed as listed in the quick start documentation, as this list is currently very long and we already build native versions of a lot of them.

Comment 1 Paul Eggleton 2012-05-04 17:09:01 UTC

I have already managed to successfully build sato on CentOS 6.2 without a number of packages currently listed. It has uncovered some possible host contamination issues however which I will investigate as part of this exercise.

Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2012-08-22 15:19:39 UTC

A fix to remove texi2html from the required utilities checked in sanity.bbclass has been merged into master (poky revision ba8ba42b9f84499f9e514c7fb3e9dfacc7a7c0dd). The only remaining work is to update the documentation to list only the required packages.

Comment 3 Paul Eggleton 2012-10-02 16:58:52 UTC

I have sent Scott the documentation changes for 1.3 to cut down the list of packages to install to something more reasonable. Once those changes are in I will mark this as resolved.

Comment 4 Paul Eggleton 2012-10-06 11:44:24 UTC

Manuals have now been updated.
