Enrico Jörns 2ffce31116 sstatesig: emit more helpful error message when not finding sstate manifest
Since oe-core commit 64b89f3c8fc31842256c482a3039d90d3f12c1cc
("sstatesig.py: make it fatal error when sstate manifest isn't found")
errors like:

| Manifest [..]/tmp/sstate-control/manifest-x86_64_x86_64-nativesdk-dbus.populate_sysroot not found in imx8mm_dummy cortexa53-mx8mm cortexa53 armv8a-crc armv8a aarch64 allarch x86_64_x86_64-nativesdk (variant '')?

are fatal now and cannot be ignored but must be debugged.

Unfortunately, the currently emitted error message is a bit imprecise
with telling the reader what has actually gone wrong.

This commit:

* adds the word 'sstate' to the error message to clarify the scope we
  are dealing with ('sstate manifests', since there are other manifests,
  too)
* does not randomly print the last manifest file searched for as THE
  manifest file that could not be found
  Instead, we print the name of the task the sstate was searched for
* adds the word 'multilib' to variant to make clear which variant we are
  talking about
* adds a separate line noting the searched pkgarchs and adds explicitly
  mentions this word ('pkgarchs')
* prints a list of ALL manifest file locations attempted
* removes the '?' at the end of the message since such errors indeed
  leave the question of what is the cause but the error message itself
  is more like a statement.

The result for the exact same issue as noted above then looks as
follows:

| The sstate manifest for task 'dbus:populate_sysroot' (multilib variant '') could not be found.
| The pkgarchs considered were: imx8mm_dummy, cortexa53-mx8mm, cortexa53, armv8a-crc, armv8a, aarch64, allarch, x86_64_x86_64-nativesdk.
| But none of these manifests exists:
|     [..]/tmp/sstate-control/manifest-imx8mm_dummy-dbus.populate_sysroot
|     [..]/tmp/sstate-control/manifest-cortexa53-mx8mm-dbus.populate_sysroot
|     [..]/tmp/sstate-control/manifest-cortexa53-dbus.populate_sysroot
|     [..]/tmp/sstate-control/manifest-armv8a-crc-dbus.populate_sysroot
|     [..]/tmp/sstate-control/manifest-armv8a-dbus.populate_sysroot
|     [..]/tmp/sstate-control/manifest-aarch64-dbus.populate_sysroot
|     [..]/tmp/sstate-control/manifest-allarch-dbus.populate_sysroot
|     [..]/tmp/sstate-control/manifest-x86_64_x86_64-nativesdk-dbus.populate_sysroot

Poky

Poky is an integration of various components to form a pre-packaged build system and development environment which is used as a development and validation tool by the Yocto Project. It features support for building customised embedded style device images and custom containers. There are reference demo images ranging from X11/GTK+ to Weston, commandline and more. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK suitable for IDE integration.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of BSP layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. Many layers are available and can be found through the layer index.

As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation, the 'meta-yocto' layer which has configuration and hardware support components. These components are all part of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded ecosystems.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/

OpenEmbedded is the build architecture used by Poky and the Yocto project. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website.

Contribution Guidelines

The project works using a mailing list patch submission process. Patches should be sent to the mailing list for the repository the components originate from (see below). Throughout the Yocto Project, the README files in the component in question should detail where to send patches, who the maintainers are and where bugs should be reported.

A guide to submitting patches to OpenEmbedded is available at:

https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded

There is good documentation on how to write/format patches at:

https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines

Where to Send Patches

As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:

OpenEmbedded-Core (files in meta/, meta-selftest/, meta-skeleton/, scripts/):

BitBake (files in bitbake/):

Documentation (files in documentation/):

meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):

If in doubt, check the openembedded-core git repository for the content you intend to modify as most files are from there unless clearly one of the above categories. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current git repository branch in question.
