ECI release 3.2 setup.sh first run fails

[jcaprooddeka]

I've run into 2 errors while attempting to build the ECI 3.2 release (release-eci_3.2.zip) per these instructions: https://eci.intel.com/docs/3.2/getstarted/building.html#setup-build-dependencies 

I was able to solve error #1 and move forward but want to report it anyway for other users and for fixing in next release. I have not solved error #2 yet and kindly request some help.

Error #1: setup.sh wget of meta-intel/tree/MAINTAINERS file fails because file is no longer hosted

When running setup.sh for the first time, it attempts to download the MAINTAINERS file from https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-intel/tree

This fails as shown below. It fails because yoctoproject no longer has a MAINTAINERS file at the top level of their source tree which you can see by browsing the URL above.

eci@eci-Default-string:/mnt/home/ubuntu/eci/release-eci_3.2/Edge-Controls-for-Industrial/eci-release$ ./setup.sh 

It looks like you're running the setup for the first time.
Would you like to verify that all dependencies are met? [Y/n] Y

Workaround - Change the targets/scripts/setup-common shell script's TEST_FILE variable from MAINTAINERS to LICENSE. This will make the script download the LICENSE file instead which wget can find successfully.

Error #2: setup.sh fails to cleanly apply patches to Dockerfile

When running setup.sh for the first time, the script creates a docker image. The Dockerfile is patched just prior to building the image, but the patch fails to apply cleanly as shown below. The setup.sh script continues on and says "Dependency check complete" in green as if everything worked correctly, but I fear that the ECI  kernel build will fail down the line if this patch did not apply.

eci@eci-Default-string:/mnt/home/ubuntu/eci/release-eci_3.2/Edge-Controls-for-Industrial/eci-release$ ./setup.sh

Note that setup.sh will not rebuild the Docker container even if you delete your eci-release directory and start from scratch. You need to purge first: docker system prune --all

Able to figure it out on my own. Hopefully this helps someone out.
