Description Phlip Balister 2015-01-13 17:56:29 UTC 
For customer reasons, I need git in the native sysroot (I'm not saying this is a good idea).

So I put:

ASSUME_PROVIDED_remove = "git-native"

in local.conf. The I run:

[balister@thuvia build]$ bitbake -e gnuradio-dev-image | grep ^ASSUME_PROVIDED
ASSUME_PROVIDED="bzip2-native chrpath-native grep-native diffstat-native patch-native perl-native-runtime python-native-runtime tar-native virtual/libintl-native texinfo-native bash-native"

Note git-native has been removed as expected. Now I try:

bitbake git-native

but bitbake reports:

WARNING: Explicit target "git-native" is in ASSUME_PROVIDED, ignoring

I know I can edit the oe-core file to change this, but I am trying to work with upstream oe-core and not carry local hacks.

Patch out on the bitbake list.
