Should re-assign to document team as Richard's comment.

This is going to adversely affect build speed. Can we not document that
python-xml needs to be installed on these hosts? I'd have thought that
would be available on most systems we support running on these days?

Cheers,

Richard

Comment 2 Scott Rifenbark 2012-11-27 15:11:51 UTC

So is the issue here that we need to add python-xml host package to all our supported hosts?  If so, is this categorized in the "essential" set of packages as defined earlier by Paul Eggleton?

Comment 3 Paul Eggleton 2012-11-27 15:51:41 UTC

We should add this; however we should only add it to the list for OpenSUSE; for the other three distributions this functionality is installed as part of the libraries for python itself so it is already taken care of for them.

Comment 4 Scott Rifenbark 2012-11-28 15:42:10 UTC

I updated the variables in the poky.ent file so that the OpenSUSE essentials package list now includes python-xml.  I also added some formatting characters to the strings of all distros to make the resuling manuals format the strings better. 

I have marked this bug RESOLVED.  Please see http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.4/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html#packages and http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.4/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html#required-packages-for-the-host-development-system for the latest QS and reference sections.
