Hi Folks

The project i am working on is using meta-mender as a submodule but we’re stuck on the dunfell branch. The latest code in the branch causes a build failure but this is fixed by the two commits in this PR: [https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender/pull/1175](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender/pull/1175)

My question is - would it be possible to get these two commits back-ported to the dunfell branch? i tried to create a PR by cherry-picking them myself but there was a few merge conflict that i wasn’t sure how to resolve. @drewmoseley suggested that i should post the request here and tag @kacf and @lluiscampos

Thanks for your help  
John

I have attempted to backport “Fix parsing order so `inherit` works with `MENDER_FEATURES`.” to dunfell [here](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender/pull/1189). I don’t think the second commit will be cherry-picked, since it is a very intrusive change, and is a cleanup more than a fix.

Chances are that your issue is fixed by the first commit though, since this is what fixed the parsing issues.

Hi @kacf -

Thanks for responding to my question!

I just tested your dunfell branch and it appears to build correctly - do you have any idea when your branch will be merged into meta-mender/dunfell?

Thanks  
John

The `dunfell-v2020.12` version has been tagged as well.
