[OE-core] [poky][master][PATCH v2 0/1] initramfs-framework: include install-efi module in recipe for installation

[Ng, Wei Tee]

Hi Richard,

For the allarch problem that you mentioned, I added INHIBIT_DEFAULT_DEPS = "1" because the packages maybe an allarch due to it being a
simple script, reality is that it is Host specific based on the COMPATIBLE_HOST, which needs to take precedence.

For this case, I run the four tests which is previously failed in the oe-selftest report and now it is PASS.
- oe-selftest -r sstatetests.SStateTests.test_sstate_allarch_samesigs [PASS]
- oe-selftest -r sstatetests.SStateTests.test_sstate_allarch_samesigs_multilib [PASS]
- oe-selftest -r wic.Wic.test_fs_types [PASS]
- oe-selftest -r wic.Wic.test_mkfs_extraopts [PASS]

I re-sent a new set of patches which consolidate into three commits to the mailing list.  You can find it in this link: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2017-July/140021.html 
The new patches consists of the 3 commits which are:
initramfs-framework: module to support boot live image
initramfs-framework: include install-efi module in recipe for installation
core-image-minimal-initramfs: use initramfs-framework by default [newly added]

Regards,
Wei Tee

I think the RDEPENDS in this patch cause problems when added to an allarch recipe. You can see this issue by running:

oe-selftest -r sstatetests.SStateTests.test_sstate_allarch_samesigs

(it failed on the autobuilder:
https://autobuilder.yocto.io/builders/nightly-oe-selftest/builds/399/st
eps/Running%20oe-selftest/logs/stdio)

We need to resolve this before the two initramfs-framework patches can be merged.

Cheers,

Richard
