OpenBMC 2.8 Release

[Johnathan Mantey]

Kurt,

I don't know if this is a "blocker".
Using the dunfell code on FC32 an Ubuntu 20, there is a problem in
"devtool modify" failing.

Somewhere in the do_unpack code an invalid environment variable is
autogenerated, and then fed to a Python eval() type call.
This eventually loads /usr/lib64/python3.8/sysconfig.py.
The autogenerated script does something with _PYTHON_SYSCONFIGDATA_NAME
that sysconfig.py doesn't like. The "devtool modify" then fails to
finish its job.
I've hacked sysconfig.py, which I don't find ideal, to overcome the issue.
Geissonator did a similar thing by grabbing the poky tarball and
changing the name of this variable.
It would be nice if this hackery were not necessary prior to dunfell
landing.
