When building bitbake images in containers one cannot do $ git stash without always being prompted to set git user name and user email. The values, once entered, are not persistent in the container so this gets very annoying after a short while. One solution would be to create some persistent dummy git settings for user "Johny Container" or something like that.
Moving to Joshua. Making a dummy git user is not the best way to solve this. Either: 1) run git commands in the workdir from the host side where you gitconfig is in ~/.gitconfig -or- 2) run docker as : docker run -it --env GIT_CONFIG=/myCONFIG -v ~/.gitconfig:/myCONFIG:ro -v `pwd`:`pwd` crops/poky --workdir=`pwd` Which gives you: pokyuser@ff47ab906591:/home/bavery/src/myBugs$ git config --list user.email=brian.avery@intel.com user.name=brian avery ** inside the container ** .... This usage probably just needs to be documented then the big could be closed ...
Build move to 5.0 -- ../Randy
Bulk move of 5.0 medium importance issues to 5.99. Move to 5.1 if you want to actively work on an issue.
Move to 5.99 since no one is actively working on this issue. Move to 5.x if you start on a task, please.
Ideas here are probably still valid for future design considerations. Moving to future.
