busybox: add utilities required for container cross-install

2026-02-09T03:32:52+00:00

Add busybox configuration fragment enabling utilities needed for container cross-install initramfs: - base64: Required for transferring container storage from QEMU to host via serial console - hexdump, uuencode, split: Additional useful utilities These utilities are used by the rootfs/runtime/init inside QEMU to encode container storage data for transfer.

core: adjust to OE-core UNPACKDIR changes

2025-06-26T02:53:19+00:00

Adjusting our core recipes to work with the OE core source handling. Note: some of these recipes don't work at runtime, but this makes them parse. These changes are explicit S assignment removal and replacement of WORKDIR with UNPACKDIR. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

busybox-initrd: auto pv from busybox

2023-05-17T15:44:51+00:00

Not hardcoding the version of busybox from the core layer in this layer is a small improvement for maintenance. But the main motivation is to support the following layer combination without getting a parse error from bitbake: - poky LTS, branch = kirkstone - meta-lts-mixins, branch = kirkstone/go - meta-lts-mixins, branch = kirkstone/rust - meta-virtualization, branch = master Signed-off-by: Adrian Freihofer Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

busybox-initrd: update include

2023-02-01T03:50:41+00:00

OEcore has an update to busybox, and since we include the core recipe directly, we have to update our PV to match. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

busybox-initrd: update to 1.35.0

2022-01-11T13:20:26+00:00

OE core commit a7d5150b621c2ab4e4 has bumped busybox to 1.35.0, so we update our initrd recipe accordingly. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

busybox-initrd: update version to match oe-core

2021-10-12T00:55:43+00:00

OEcore has moved to 1.34.1 of busybox, so we do the same with our initrd recipe. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield

busybox-initrd: rename to match 1.34.0 version from oe-core

global: overrides syntax conversion

2021-08-02T21:17:53+00:00

OEcore/bitbake are moving to use the clearer ":" as an overrides separator. This is pass one of updating the meta-virt recipes to use that syntax. This has only been minimally build/runtime tested, more changes will be required for missed overrides, or incorrect conversions Note: A recent bitbake is required: commit 75fad23fc06c008a03414a1fc288a8614c6af9ca Author: Richard Purdie Date: Sun Jul 18 12:59:15 2021 +0100 bitbake: data_smart/parse: Allow ':' characters in variable/function names It is becomming increasingly clear we need to find a way to show what is/is not an override in our syntax. We need to do this in a way which is clear to users, readable and in a way we can transition to. The most effective way I've found to this is to use the ":" charater to directly replace "_" where an override is being specified. This includes "append", "prepend" and "remove" which are effectively special override directives. This patch simply adds the character to the parser so bitbake accepts the value but maps it back to "_" internally so there is no behaviour change. This change is simple enough it could potentially be backported to older version of bitbake meaning layers using the new syntax/markup could work with older releases. Even if other no other changes are accepted at this time and we don't backport, it does set us on a path where at some point in future we could require a more explict syntax. I've tested this patch by converting oe-core/meta-yocto to the new syntax for overrides (9000+ changes) and then seeing that builds continue to work with this patch.
