[poky] Problem with METADATA_* vars

[Koen Kooi]

Hi,

I have a simple recipe that does:

export METADATA_REVISION
export METADATA_BRANCH
export TARGET_SYS

do_install() {
    install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}
    echo "Angstrom ${DISTRO_VERSION}" > ${D}${sysconfdir}/angstrom-version
    echo "Built from branch: ${METADATA_BRANCH}" >>
${D}${sysconfdir}/angstrom-version
    echo "Revision: ${METADATA_REVISION}" >>
${D}${sysconfdir}/angstrom-version
    echo "Target system: ${TARGET_SYS}" >>
${D}${sysconfdir}/angstrom-version

    [..]
}

It builds fine when doing 'bitbake angstrom-version', but when doing
'bitbake console-image', which includes angstrom-version I get:

tr: write error: Broken pipe
ERROR: Error evaluating '${@base_detect_branch(d)}'

This started happening after
http://git.angstrom-distribution.org/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/meta-angstrom/commit/?id=d14b9341ccae0bbd01700d1ef54a1c0a0fb98628but
I'm not sure if that's the cause.

regards,

Koen
