Description Richard Purdie 2012-07-12 12:24:01 UTC 
Grub has host contamination issues. An autobuilder build recently failed with:

| Processing task-core-boot...
| error: Failed dependencies:
|       liblzma5 >= 5.1.1alpha is needed by grub-1.99-r8.core2
|       liblzma.so.5 is needed by grub-1.99-r8.core2
| ERROR: Function failed: do_rootfs
(see /srv/home/pokybuild/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-slave/sys940x/build/build/tmp/work/sys940x-poky-linux/core-image-minimal-1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs.23664 for further information)

which is caused by grub finding and compiling against lzma but not listing it in DEPENDS. Looking at configure.ac, we need to also deal with device-mapper, devmapper, zfs and nvpair. We'll likely have to patch configure.ac since there are no disable options for these items.

Comment 2 Constantin Musca 2012-09-21 11:12:24 UTC 
Bug fixed.

Changes:
- add support for the --enable_liblzma option
- disable lzma, device-mapper, zfs, nvpair
