It turns out this patch http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=685daeb6e265ddbd28be0ef44dcc356727b99375 is stopping Toaster from building with the Jethro release. Builds will fail with this error Nothing PROVIDES 'libsdl-native' (but virtual:native:/home/yocto/master/_toaster_clones/_git___git.yoctoproject.org_poky_jethro/meta/recipes-devtools/qemu/qemu_2.4.0.bb DEPENDS on or otherwise requires it) Required build target 'core-image-base' has no buildable providers. Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['core-image-base', 'qemu-native', 'libsdl-native'] To get Jethro to build from Toaster you must uncomment this line in local.conf first #ASSUME_PROVIDED += "libsdl-native" We need to provide a workaround so that Jethro builds work out of the box.
According to Paul Eggleton, we are using the local.conf.sample file from the master branch when trying to build jethro. We should be using the jethro branch one.
I'll take it as it's in the scope of the fix for bug 7880.
This patchset should fix the issue: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/toaster/2016-March/004093.html
The fix has been merged to bitbake master: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=a43a16b9fd471d719761354eaab81409d4b07470
