Hi all,
Installing mender-artifact on the target image and into the SDK during Yocto build results in QA issues.
mender-artifact installed to the target image by:
IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " mender-artifact"
Native mender-artifact installed to the SDK by:
TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK:append = " nativesdk-mender-artifact"
QA issues are textrel and buildpaths.
ERROR: mender-artifact-4.1.0-r0 do_package_qa: QA Issue: File /usr/bin/mender-artifact in package mender-artifact contains reference to TMPDIR [buildpaths]
ERROR: mender-artifact-4.1.0-r0 do_package_qa: QA Issue: mender-artifact: ELF binary /usr/bin/mender-artifact has relocations in .text [textrel]

For those who are facing the same issue, it can be circumvent by skipping those specific QA steps by adding the recipes-mender/mender-artifact/mender-artifact_%.bbappend file to your layer with the following content:
INSANE_SKIP:append = " buildpaths textrel"
These Yocto QA checks usually detect real or potential problems, it would be great to find and fix the original root-case in mender-artifact codebase. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
