Description Joshua Lock 2016-03-31 13:12:20 UTC 
In playing around with toaster I wanted to build an image based on core-image-lsb, but that requires PAM to be in DISTRO_FEATURES.

In my project configuration I added a bitbake variable: "DISTRO_FEATURES_append" and set the value to " pam" but the assignment in toaster.conf is:

DISTRO_FEATURES_append="pam"

As _append and _prepend are whitespace sensitive Toaster should support setting variables with leading or trailing whitespace.

I'm unable to reproduce this in toaster-next…
