Noticed that Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is not on the list of supported
distributions for Morty.

Is that correct/intentional, or a documentation oversight?
Ubuntu 16.04 is mentioned elsewhere in the docs.

We are planning to upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and it would
make more sense to go to the latest LTS rather than 14.04.

Hi Martin,

I would be surprised if it isn't. I've been running meta-openembedded 
and openembedded-core in our project without
any issues on 16.04 with both Krogoth and Morty.

Would be good if the project team can confirm though.

That's a mistake, I consider the whitelist assignment in poky.conf to be
canonical and that includes 16.04.

Scott, can you update the list at
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#detailed-supported-distros
so that it reflects the list in the code:

SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS ?= " \
            poky-1.8 \n \
            poky-2.0 \n \
            poky-2.1 \n \
            poky-2.2 \n \
            Ubuntu-14.04 \n \
            Ubuntu-14.10 \n \
            Ubuntu-15.04 \n \

Fedora 25 should be released in two weeks time 
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/25/Schedule). Can it then still 
be added as a Morty supported distro version?

>             CentOSLinux-7.* \n \

I see in Poky current master when running bitbake:

WARNING: Host distribution "CentOS-7.2.1511" has not been validated with 
this version of the build system; you may possibly experience unexpected 
failures. It is recommended that you use a tested distribution.

It runs fine, but it seems to fail the distro test.

The short version is that it's a distro that doesn't change too much, is
still supported, and we have builders on autobuilder.yoctoproject.org
running that distro.

The Centos mismatch is annoying, can you please file a bug?

Of course this is just a notice and you're entirely welcome to ignore it,
or even set SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS to "" if you're using poky.

If you're not using a distro on the list (assuming the list is correct and 
complete, of course) what it really means is that you *may* be on your own 
sorting out any distro-related issues, but it doesn't mean that it definitely 
cannot work. There are people running builds regularly on distros that aren't 
on this list successfully, it's just that we can't commit to supporting all of 
the included functionality on all of them.

Cheers,
Paul

OK, clear. However, the "still supported" part would exclude older 
Fedora releases, even while perfectly usable for Yocto.

It is not really bothering me, but it might be for a novice user or 
someone wanting to run official, central builds on a Centos 7.x host.

I added that in the bug report as a side note to add that as a comment 
to poky.conf.

Just as a note, I've been using archlinux for about a year and have never
faced "distro related problems", except when the gcc6 comes out. Anyway I'm
using daisy in my work. I think that making old releases supported by X
distro doesn't make any sense...

The supported list of distros is just the list of distros that are known to
work, and if something breaks then we'll notice and fix it.  If you want to
use arch and face the periodic problems such as new toolchain meaning you
can't build gcc-cross, then go for it.

Another option perhaps is to use a debian stable container with docker (https://hub.docker.com/r/cbrake/oe-build/ <https://hub.docker.com/r/cbrake/oe-build/>)
and you can use your favorite distro for stuff you usually do and at same time let OE/YP build on  a known/supported distro e.g.
Its a bit of mind shift but I am happily using it, while my distro stays bleeding edge arch.

e.g. see

We previously had CentOS-7.* which was changed to CentOSLinux-7 in
meta-yocto ce1fe45e9a18a82e2b95ea7e0b088ba595ceeee6.

What's going on here? Are CentOS really changing the value of their
Distributor ID for a released version?
Or is the issue here that they aren't using consistent values for
Distributor ID and its equivalent across /etc/lsb-release, /etc/redhat-
release, /etc/os-release and other potential sources?

Can someone with a CentOS 7 box pastebin their /etc/lsb-release,
/etc/redhat-release and /etc/os-release?

I'm planning to move to ubuntu 16.04 as I have in home, since I'm something
like tired of reading the words "not supported" .. but I have a lot of work
to do before I can format my machine there... So, it will be arch :)

I was just notifying that I have never had problems with arch being "not
supported". The packages needed there, and the ones that can't be found at
binary repos can be found at AUR, so, arch works just fine.

Ubuntu 16.04 is supported, the documentation is wrong and will be fixed.
Arch is not, and never will be.

Thank you! Any chance you can share the output of `lsb_release -ir`

Not to worry, I used a CentOS container to test this myself:

# lsb_release -ir
Distributor ID: CentOS
Release:        7.2.1511

The problem is that we check multiple sources for a distro's name,
favouring the output of lsb_release -ir.

If you have lsb_release available your system is reported as CentOS,
otherwise we fall back to reading os-release or redhat-release and get
CentOSLinux.

I've filed a bug to track this issue:

I got the same result.

It appears that I got lsb_release on my CentOS host by installing the 
Google Chrome RPM, which required lsb >= 4.0.

Thanks, tracking it.

To add more options, there's also a set of CROPS (YP subproject)  Docker
containers aimed at supporting a general build environment for YP, one
aimed at the extensible sdk, and several for toaster depending on the
desired version.

poky/oe:
https://hub.docker.com/r/crops/poky/

extensible-sdk:
https://github.com/crops/extsdk-container

toaster:
https://hub.docker.com/r/crops/toaster/  (last official release)
https://hub.docker.com/r/crops/toaster-krogoth/
https://hub.docker.com/r/crops/toaster-morty/
https://hub.docker.com/r/crops/toaster-master/




There are instructions for using the CROPS containers on Mac & Windows as
well.

Both of the suse entries should be styled a "openSUSE <version>", the
change of case is due to technical nonsense and not what the user will see.

Apart from that, looks good.
