Dependencies gone wild

Dependencies gone wild

[Gary Thomas]

I was just comparing a build I did on 2015-03-20 and 2015-03-27.
I noticed that [today] almost every package in my build had to
be rebuilt :-(  [I thought that things were pretty much frozen
for the next release!]

I compared some of the stamps and every one I examined looked
something like this:

running systemd?

Bitbake wasn't tracking those variables correctly, and now it is.  You
could argue that PACKAGEVARS should be extended in the class that sets the
variable, and patches welcome for that if it would work I guess.
