verified this warning disappears when launching the guest

Comment 3 Saul Wold 2010-11-03 10:38:19 UTC

This is being reopened since the fix was not completely correct, there are a couple of places where date is used to setup the /etc/timestamp.

Both the coreutils.date and busybox.date will accept the +%2m%2d%2H%2H%Y format without the -s option.

The following places need to be fixed:
meta/classes/image.bbclass
meta/recipes-core/initscripts/initscripts-1.0/bootmisc.sh
meta/recipes-core/initscripts/initscripts-1.0/save-rtc.sh
