When IMAGE_GEN_DEBUGFS is enabled, and IMAGE_FSTYPES_DEBUGFS is left
at its default (as suggested by local.conf.sample.extended),
recipe parsing fails:
bitbake kern-tools-native # or anything else for that matter
ERROR: <poky.git>/meta/recipes-core/images/build-appliance-image_15.0.0.bb: No IMAGE_CMD defined for IMAGE_FSTYPES entry 'debugfs_vmdk' - possibly invalid type name or missing support class
ERROR: Failed to parse recipe: <poky.git>/meta/recipes-core/images/build-appliance-image_15.0.0.bb
Summary: There was 1 WARNING message shown.
Summary: There were 2 ERROR messages shown, returning a non-zero exit code.
i.e. bitbake doesn't even finish parsing...
Since IMAGE_FSTYPES_DEBUGFS is based on IMAGE_FSTYPES, and
since the build-appliance-image is setting IMAGE_FSTYPES
to vmdk, image.bbclass/image_types.bbclass will be trying
to build a debugfs_vmdk, causing the error, as this is not
implemented.
One solution to solving this problem could be as simple as
adding a line
IMAGE_FSTYPES_DEBUGFS_remove = "vmdk"
to the build-appliance-image recipe, but that is very
specific to the error encountered and carries the risk of
the error being reintroduced in another recipe.
Another solution could be to add 'debugfs_vmdk' to
IMAGE_TYPES_MASKED in image-vm.bbclass, but again, this
approach doesn't seem generic enough.
None of the live and vm type images have an implementation
for building a debugfs version, it doesn't seem to make
sense to build debugfs versions of any of them anyway, and
given IMAGE_TYPES_MASKED appears to be intended for those
image types exclusively, it seems the right approach is to
unconditionally also mask all debugfs_ flavours from
IMAGE_TYPES_MASKED to achieve a generic solution.
Do that so.
