Fix Version: 6.0
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 6
Component/s: Build & Config
Customer has a layer containing a modified "recipes-img/images/wrlinux-image-glibc-small.bb" file. The modifications allow the removal of unwanted packages.
To prevent accidental changes to the layer all files are read-only except for some trusted engineers. When building a platform project using the layer with this file read-only the following errors are seen:
Generating bitbake config

Substituting scripts and Makefiles
If the file is made read/write in the layer then this error does not occur.
We think that when files are copied from layers into a project directory their permissions should *not* also be copied, only the content.
Don't make layer files/dirs read-only
Using attached layer, unpack and make all files/dirs read-only and then:
$ configure --enable-board=fsl-p1021rdb-pc --enable-rootfs=glibc_small --enable-kernel=standard --with-layer=/path/to/custom-layer
$ make
Observe error.
