Often gzip is reporting broken pipe errors with do_unpack of tar.gz files. If you use the commands described above to extract a tar.gz file, gzip sometimes emits a Broken pipe error message. This can safely be ignored if tar extracted all files without any other error message. We do not let python install its SIGPIPE handler and use subprocess call to invoke the command. This is based on the following python bug report. http://bugs.python.org/issue1652 Signed-off-by: Khem Raj <[email protected]> --- classes/base.bbclass | 9 +++++++-- 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/classes/base.bbclass b/classes/base.bbclass index e622aee..69d1979 100644 --- a/classes/base.bbclass +++ b/classes/base.bbclass @@ -716,9 +716,14 @@ base_do_buildall() { : } +def subprocess_setup(): + import signal, subprocess + # Python installs a SIGPIPE handler by default.
