fixes for use with Angstrom

From: Stefan Agner <[email protected]>

Hi folks,

We plan to make use of the Yocto Autobuilder at Toradex. I successfully deployed an installation, however since we distribute an Anstrom based BSP I had to adjust some files. With those patches and a custom layer configuration (not included since quite ugly) I'm able to build our BSP.

Would be good to have those changes upstream. Especially the new way to preserve the order of builders is more generic, however maybe not yet perfect. I needed this especially since I build some other stuff using POBBC (plain old build bot configuration :-)).

Just as a general question: What is planned with the autobuilder in general? Is there an integration planned with Toaster? As far as I can see, since the build directory is recreated each time, this is not really possible right now. It would need adjustment to the autobuilder to start the toaster web interface for each builder, and clean/restart builds in a way that doesn't interfere with Toaster. Any thoughts on this?
