+Subject: [PATCH] Remove home directory references in board config
+
+The OpenEmbedded sanity checker finds a build user's home directory
+in the configuration files. If the user happens to have a home directory
+named "dan" or "nickc", then this check fails. Instead change the
+defaults to point outside of the home space.
+
+Since these are samples, it shouldn't harm anything.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [OE configuration specific]
