I ran into a minor build system glitch and wanted to share the
workaround I used.

I was following the steps in the Poky quick start guide.  When the
build got to the do_rootfs() task, the rpm command complained on all
packages with:

       installing package <PKG> needs 125MB on the /boot filesystem

My /boot partition is only 100MB which is what triggered the problem.

However, since the disk space on the host filesystem is irrelevant for
assembling the rootfs for the target, I added --ignoresize to the rpm
line that triggered the problem.

I suspect that it's related to the fact that rpm -U was used with
--justdb and without --root.  It may be needed on similar rpm calls as
well.

Once I made the change my build completed successfully.

Yes other options are needed with --justdb. Arguably,
--justdb COULD imply other options. That hasn't/wasn't
done in RPM because options and functionality can/do change,
and with the number of options present, the matrix is quite
large and unmaintainable.

There's another approach using a popt alias that is
quite simple (see "man 3 popt" or look at /usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt*
for examples). Instead of having --foo imply --bar, then
add a --foobar popt alias that is the combination of --foo and --bar.

In this specific case, create, say, a --dorootfs popt alias which
passes --justdb --ignoresize to rpm, and change the Poky quick
start guide to use "--dorootfs".

If you chose some name spacing in option names like
    --poky:rootfs
the options COULD be added to rpmpopt.in @rpm5.org rather easily as well.
