[PATCH 1/2] meta/bitbake.conf: add MACHINEOVERRIDES and DISTROOVERRIDES

[Claudius Heine]

Replacing MACHINE and DISTRO in the OVERRIDES variable with
MACHINEOVERRIDES and DISTROOVERRIDES allows to configure machine or
distro compatibilities by prepending to those variables.

This is smilar to how OE handles this.

In Isar, not setting the DISTRO variable is not supported, therefore we
don't need a inline python function for it.

[PATCH 2/2] meta/base.bbclass: integrate COMPATIBLE_MACHINE feature

[Claudius Heine]

Integrate the COMPATIBLE_MACHINE of OE, where recipes can specify a
regex in COMPATIBLE_MACHINE that needs to match to an entry of the
MACHINEOVERRIDES variable, otherwise the recipe will be skipped.

Similar to OE, with `PARSE_ALL_RECIPES`, parsing of the recipe can be
enforced.

This code was copied from the OE-core codebase.

Hello Claudius,
Import re is not needed here because already done at top of the function.

Sure. Do you want a v2 or are you deleting that line on merge?

Claudius

Let's wait little bit for more feedback and then maybe you can resend v2 
with
'[PATCH] meta-isar: Declare compatible machines' also included in the 
patchset.

The patchset with Anton's additional patch passes CI. So, they can be
merged to next (with "import" fix) with no waiting for v2, if nobody
against.

I've planned to send the same patchset but with recipes updates, so will 
do it
in separate commit on top of this.

Thanks Claudius for the patches,

Just out of curiosity, for which use case did you need this?

With kind regards,

This is needed for the COMPATIBLE_MACHINE feature as well as writing one 
recipe that can be reused for different machines/distros with slightly 
different configurations.

Here are some examples:
  - Creating a custom debian based distribution by patching debian 
certain packages, but still being compatible to the debian distribution 
and reusing their `:debian-bookworm`, etc overrides, where applicable.
  - Creating BSP package layers that support multiple different boards 
with the same or a different soc, where some packages/recipes are soc 
specific, some are board specific.

All of that is possible with other means, but using the *OVERRIDES and 
COMPATIBLE_* variables is the most straight forward and accustomed way 
for developers coming from OE.

In my case, I am integrating a couple of boards based on different tegra 
variants in one BSP.

regards,
Claudius

Applied to next, thanks.

Removed redundant 2nd "import re" in one function in p2 when merging.
