The Quick Start Guide lists host packages needed to get YP up and running for a number of host distros in the "The Build Host Packages¶" section. These tend to vary slightly with each revision of the Host distribution. It would be great to test these, regularly. Concept: Script to pull Docker containers matching each of the supported OS's. For instance docker pull ubuntu:16.04 Then the script could pull the list for Ubuntu from the documentation directly, apply the package apt-get/dnf/yum/zypper and do a build to make sure that the needed packages are there. Alternatively, Randy's runbitbake.py script (for example in ubuntu-16.04-builder) could be used.
This didn't meet 2.4. Moving to 2.5.
As of the latest Autobuilder, it had increased the number of worker to cover Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Opensuse and Centos host machines. These AB workers had provided the testing to host packages required for bitbake. Does these AB workers satisfied the purpose of this ticket? Is there anything still needed? Also, where could we find the Randy's runbitbake.py script that being mentioned?

Sorry, adding Richard and Michael to get inputs from them.
Closing this as this does not receive any new inputs and existing AB had theoretically covered this, reopen if needed.
