linux-dummy.bb: Resolve missing task issues

2013-10-01T21:56:04+00:00

Commit 609d5a9ab9e58bb1c2bcc2145399fbc8b701b85a added additional initramfs functionality and created an additional task on kernel.bbclass Adding this task was missed on the linux-dummy recipe, which causes task dependency issues due to image.bbclass depending on "virtual/kernel:do_bundle_initramfs". This change adds a dummy task which resolves the dependency issue.

makedevs: Do not return error if the fifo exisits

2013-10-01T21:56:03+00:00

This ensures that makedevs will not cause image creation failures when it encounters a pipe (fifo) that exists from a previous image. This handles mode changes and it will correctly fail for dangling symlinks.

dpkg: Add xz to RDEPENDS

dpkg uses xz as a compressor and the binary image is needed on the system for dpkg to work correctly. [YOCTO #1881] (From OE-Core rev: 8f6bc04c9b563f8659ce0e053072deca02da38a5) Signed-off-by: Saul Wold Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

wic: Add OpenEmbedded-specific implementation

2013-10-01T21:56:03+00:00

Reuses the mic/livecd infrastructure but heavily subclasses and modifies it to adapt to the special needs of building images from existing OpenEmbedded build artifacts. In addition to the OE-specific mic objects and modifications to the underlying infrastructure, this adds a mechanism to allow OE kickstart files to be 'canned' and made available to users via the 'wic list images' command. Two initial OE kickstart files have been added as canned .wks files: directdisk, which implements the same thing as the images created by directdisk.bbclass, and mkefidisk, which can essentially be used as a replacement for mkefidisk.sh. Of course, since creation of these images are now driven by .wks files rather than being hard-coded into class files or scripts, they can be easily modified to generate different variations on those images. They also don't require root priveleges, since they don't use mount to create the images. They don't however write to media like mkefidisk.sh does, but rather create images that can be written onto media.

wic: Add mic w/pykickstart

2013-10-01T21:56:03+00:00

This is the starting point for the implemention described in [YOCTO 3847] which came to the conclusion that it would make sense to use kickstart syntax to implement image creation in OpenEmbedded. I subsequently realized that there was an existing tool that already implemented image creation using kickstart syntax, the Tizen/Meego mic tool. As such, it made sense to use that as a starting point - this commit essentially just copies the relevant Python code from the MIC tool to the scripts/lib dir, where it can be accessed by the previously created wic tool. Most of this will be removed or renamed by later commits, since we're initially focusing on partitioning only. Care should be taken so that we can easily add back any additional functionality should we decide later to expand the tool, though (we may also want to contribute our local changes to the mic tool to the Tizen project if it makes sense, and therefore should avoid gratuitous changes to the original code if possible). Added the /mic subdir from Tizen mic repo as a starting point: git clone git://review.tizen.org/tools/mic.git For reference, the top commit: commit 20164175ddc234a17b8a12c33d04b012347b1530 Author: Gui Chen Date: Sun Jun 30 22:32:16 2013 -0400 bump up to 0.19.2 Also added the /plugins subdir, moved to under the /mic subdir (to match the default plugin_dir location in mic.conf.in, which was renamed to yocto-image.conf (moved and renamed by later patches) and put into /scripts.

wic: Initial code for wic (OpenEmbedded Image Creator)

2013-10-01T21:56:03+00:00

Initial implementation of the 'wic' command. The 'wic' command generates partitioned images from existing OpenEmbedded build artifacts. Image generation is driven by partitioning commands contained in an 'Openembedded kickstart' (.wks) file specified either directly on the command-line or as one of a selection of canned .wks files (see 'wic list images'). When applied to a given set of build artifacts, the result is an image or set of images that can be directly written onto media and used on a particular system. 'wic' is based loosely on the 'mic' (Meego Image Creator) framework, but heavily modified to make direct use of OpenEmbedded build artifacts instead of package installation and configuration, things already incorporated int the OE artifacts. The name 'wic' comes from 'oeic' with the 'oe' diphthong promoted to the letter 'w', because 'oeic' is impossible to remember or pronounce. This covers the mechanics of invoking and providing help for the command and sub-commands; it contains hooks for future commits to connect with the actual functionality, once implemented. Help is integrated into the 'wic' command - see that for details on usage.
