[yocto] Nettle from release Fido fails to build

[Leon Anavi]

Hi,

Yesterday I noticed that the build of recipe nettle 2.7.1 from release 
Fido fails:
https://gist.github.com/leon-anavi/dfd3afab567a9dc9fa2f

The build machine is with Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr). I am build Poky 
with nettle for qemux86-64.

My investigation shows that nettle fails due to a couple of security 
fixes (CVE-2015-8804, CVE-2015-8803 and CVE-2015-8805) which have been 
applied to branch Fido recently:
https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/recipes-support/nettle/nettle_2.7.1.bb?h=fido#n13

The same patches are present in Jethro but the versions of nettle in 
Jethro and Fido are different. The version in Fido is 2.7.1. Jethro has 
recipes for both 2.7.1 and 3.1.1. As far as I can see in Jethro the 
patches are applied only for version 3.1.1.Therefore in my opinion these 
patches are for a newer versions of nettle and they are not compatible 
with version 2.7.1 from release Fido.

Could you please have a look and let me know if I am doing something 
wrong or if this is a bug that can be fixed for release Fido?

Best regards, Leon
