[meta-ti] has anyone actually tested sdcard_image.bbclass?

  just to recap what seems to be an obvious bug in meta-ti, all i want
to do is add the image class of "sdcard_image" to create an SD card
image of core-image-minimal for a beaglebone.

  from a fresh configuration and adjusting to select a machine of
beaglebone, i can do all the fetching to start things off:

$ bitbake -c fetchall core-image-minimal

and i can use bitbake-env to examine the relevant variables:

$ bitbake-env -r core-image-minimal IMAGE_CLASSES IMAGE_FSTYPES
Parsing recipes..WARNING: No recipes available for:

/home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/meta-ti/recipes-graphics/mesa/mesa-dri_8.0.4.bbappend
done.
IMAGE_CLASSES="image_types"
IMAGE_FSTYPES=" tar.bz2 "
$

  so far, so good.  now, AIUI, to add the SD card image type to the
generated artifacts, i need only add this line to my local.conf:

IMAGE_CLASSES += "sdcard_image"

but after i do that:

$ bitbake-env -r core-image-minimal IMAGE_CLASSES IMAGE_FSTYPES
Parsing recipes..ERROR: Error executing a python function in <code>:
NameError: global name 'imagetypes_getdepends' is not defined
... huge snip here ...

  using the raspberry pi layer as a model, i made the following change
in meta-ti's sdcard_image.bbclass file:

diff --git a/classes/sdcard_image.bbclass
b/classes/sdcard_image.bbclass
index f9b8d46..45374e2 100644
--- a/classes/sdcard_image.bbclass
+++ b/classes/sdcard_image.bbclass
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
-inherit image
+inherit image_types

 # Add the fstypes we need
 IMAGE_FSTYPES_append = " tar.bz2 sdimg"

  and now, at least bitbake-env works:

$ bitbake-env -r core-image-minimal IMAGE_CLASSES IMAGE_FSTYPES
Parsing recipes..WARNING: No recipes available for:

/home/rpjday/oe/dist/layers/meta-ti/recipes-graphics/mesa/mesa-dri_8.0.4.bbappend
done.
IMAGE_CLASSES=" sdcard_image"
IMAGE_FSTYPES=" tar.bz2  tar.bz2 sdimg"
$

  so, is it fair to say that that's a bug in sdcard_image.bbclass?
or is there something else that needs to be adjusted?
