Description Belen Barros Pena 2013-07-17 13:25:01 UTC

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Hob
2. Select a machine
3. Open the "Advanced configuration" dialog
4. Change your selected distro to "poky-tiny" and click "Save"

After recipe parsing, the base images available include core-image-weston, which you cannot build with poky-tiny. We need to take it out.

This brings back memories of bug 2565. There, we discussed how to enforce poky-tiny limitations in Hob. Paul Eggleton suggested to specify them in the distro configuration, but in the end we went for creating a hard-coded black list in Hob. Maintaining hard-coded black lists is a pain (as we can see from this bug report) so, should we reconsider Paul's approach?

Cristiana just showed me this was implemented as Paul suggested. Sorry about the noise :(
