The sanity tests in insane.bbclass need refactoring to make it easier to extend. In particular, some packaging tests are currently ending up in package.bbclass. These should be in insane.bbclass with hooks added as appropriate. Further, all tests should honour the settings of QA_WARN and QA_ERROR.
Postpone to 1.5

Test case: Steps: 1. Add the following lines to a .bb file. For expample, gzip_1.6.bb: PACKAGES += "${PN}-dbg" 2. Run "bitbake gzip" 3. Modify the meta-yocto/conf/distro/poky.conf. Move the "packages-list" from ERROR_QA to WARN_QA. Run "bitbake gzip" again. Expected results: In step 2, the build should failed and show the following error: ######################## ERROR: QA Issue: gzip-dbg is listed in PACKAGES multiple times, this leads to packaging errors. ERROR: QA run found fatal errors. Please consider fixing them. ERROR: Function failed: do_package_qa ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /buildarea1/yzhao1/poky/build-test/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/gzip/1.6-r0/temp/log.do_package.28207 ERROR: Task 10 (/buildarea1/yzhao1/poky/meta/recipes-extended/gzip/gzip_1.6.bb, do_package) failed with exit code '1' NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 734 tasks of which 733 didn't need to be rerun and 1 failed.
