I'm not in any official position within the Yocto project but I do use Arch so I'm just putting my tuppence (or 2 cents) in here. I don't think it makes sense to call a rolling-release, compiled from source and close to bleeding edge distro like Arch (or Gentoo for that matter) "supported". The sanity check warning when building Poky was what made me decide to spin up a Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS virtual machine for doing my important builds as that is a much more stable distribution. When a new official release of Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, etc are released, a Poky build can be tested on that release and the platform certified as being supported because it's been proven to correctly build Poky. How often would you have to test Arch Linux when major package updates can occur on any given day? Don't get me wrong, I love Arch and use it on my desktop for all development work. But for builds I want to be known-good, I push them off to a Ubuntu Server virtual machine. -- Paul Barker Email: [email protected] http://www.paulbarker.me.uk _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
