ca-certificates: avoid using += with an over-ride
PATCH 1/1 ca-certificates: avoid using += with an over-ride
Using += with an over-ride can be a source of confusion so try to avoid the construct in core recipes.
In this case, the commit which added the over-ride seems to have been buggy - the commit message mentions "add to SYSROOT_DIRS" rather than a correct description of what the change actually did, ie "over-ride SYSROOT_DIRS":
http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=355e49e19abb3e729c82a6de46ada8da8a257f58
The commit also appears to have been unnecessary as ${sysconfdir} is appended to SYSROOT_DIRS for -native recipes by default from within staging.bbclass.
To workaround the bug introduced by the first commit, a subsequent commit later added ${datadir}/ca-certificates to the over-ride value (which would not normally be necessary as ${datadir} is included in the default value of SYSROOT_DIRS - ie the value which was lost due to being over-ridden):
http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=09bb7718d74573be9a5db4d0737fb14126f6489c
Therefore the fix seem to be to remove the SYSROOT_DIRS over-ride entirely - the default value of SYSROOT_DIRS set by staging.bbclass includes both ${datadir} and ${sysconfdir} when building for -native.
