was just handed a sizable YP/WRL project and i *think* i can see
what the problem is, so i'll keep it short (he said, optimistlcally).
the symptom is that, of the dozens of layers that should end up in
bblayers.conf (all this running on a VM in a docker container), one
layer is missing, and that's the one that defines all the distro
config files, so the eventual error is:
DISTRO 'slartibartfast' not found ...
well, yeah, and that's pretty clearly because the corresponding layer
is, for whatever reason, not being added to bblayers.conf. so why not?
look further into output and notice that, just above that, there is
an error that shows an essential tool cannot be found:
ERROR: THe following required tools (as specified by HOSTTOOLS)
cannot be found ...
snafu
and, sure enough, the missing layer does insist in its layer.conf
that:
HOSTTOOLS += "snafu"
so i am assuming that, because that layer was being added via
"bitbake-layers" and that layer had a HOSTTOOLS requirement that was
not satisfied, that's why the failure of the layer addition, yes?
just to bypass this issue, is there a bitbake-layers option that
bypasses that sanity checking? i can see "-F" but that claims to
bypass recipe parse verification, which is not what this is.
this all depends on the assumption that that failed HOSTTOOLS test
is what caused the failure of the layer addition, which cascaded down
to other errors.
