Description Joshua Lock - Disabled 2010-08-25 04:30:59 UTC 
It's currently necessary to define PREFERRED_PROVIDERS for tasks in scenarios which it feels like the system should be able to determine automatically, such as the PREFERRED_PROVIDER_opkg* definitions on meta/conf/poky.conf

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_opkg ?= "opkg"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_opkg-native ?= "opkg-native"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_opkg-nativesdk ?= "opkg-nativesdk"

This was me conflating two issues, the first was a recipe which had incorrect providers. In the example instance, opkg, we have to define the preferred providers because there are nogpg variants of the recipe.

There closing this as NOTABUG.
