Manifest for host (nativesdk) is empty

Manifest for host (nativesdk) is empty

[Oleksiy Obitotskyi -X (oobitots - GLOBALLOGIC INC at Cisco)]

Hi All,

I'm working with gatesgarth and after 'bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk' into .../deploy/sdk
contains image installer .sh and manifests *.{host/target}.manifest. Host one contains list of nativesdk packages.

In honister target manifest is ok, but host manifest is empty.
So, my question is it known behavior/done in purpose or not normal behavior?

Regards,
Oleksiy

It is unexpected and needs to be looked into...

Something like this helps with host manifest.
It was just a guess - I found similar workaround into meta/lib/oe/package_manager/ipk/sdk.py.
If it appropriate I could arrange it as a patch.

After further investigation we realized that this change fix host but affects target manifest.
Proposed solution is not ok for now.
