In a sense yes. From how I understand it, anything that is listed as a
required utility in SANITY_REQUIRED_UTILITIES does not even have to be
listed in ASSUME_PROVIDED. The required native utilites should fail the
sanity test right away if they are not there.
For any dependency listed in ASSUME_PR
i just found an old thread that i was in:
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2012-July/025402.html
i do notice what seems to be an inconsistency. from bitbake.conf:
ASSUME_PROVIDED = "\
bzip2-native \
chrpath-native \
git-native \
grep-native \
diffsta
i know i've mentioned this before, but it's still somewhat confusing
if a new yocto user wants to figure out *exactly* what he or she must
install manually on a yocto development host.
there are a pile of web pages that claim to explain this:
