Description Richard Purdie 2024-07-12 08:37:28 UTC 
If you make a typo like a missing quote:

DEBUG_OPTIMIZATION = "-Og ${DEBUG_LEVELFLAG}

then bitbake-layers add-layer hangs, e.g.:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/83/builds/7129

which ran for an hour running:

bitbake-layers add-layer ${BUILDDIR}/../meta-selftest
Comment 1 Richard Purdie 2024-09-06 15:03:53 UTC 
I took the revision that failed and tried to reproduce this and was not able to. I can only assume it is python version dependent and fixed in newer python versions...
