[yocto] Problem using Subversion in Pyro

[Alan Levy]

I have a recipe that fetches code from an SVN repository and uses ${SRCPV} to obtain its version number. This works fine under Morty but the recipe crashes out with an error under Pyro because it can't find the SVN executable.

Eventually I traced this down to the fact that SVN is missing from the list of host apps defined in HOSTTOOLS in bitbake.conf. If I add an assignment in local.conf to append svn to HOSTTOOLS all is well again.

I think that this is almost certainly a bug but I thought I'd raise the question here just in case it's really me doing something wrong.
