linux/poky.git/meta/classes-recipe/core-image.bbclass, branch master

The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.

2025-11-07T13:31:53+00:00

You can either: a) switch to individual clones of bitbake, openembedded-core, meta-yocto and yocto-docs b) use the new bitbake-setup You can find information about either approach in our documentation: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ Note that "poky" the distro setting is still available in meta-yocto as before and we continue to use and maintain that. Long live Poky! Some further information on the background of this change can be found in: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2179 Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

2025-10-13T17:01:03+00:00

Add a zsh-completion-pkgs image feature to install *-zsh-completion packages into an image. This is similar to the existing bash-completion-pkgs feature.

classes-recipe/core-image: drop debug-tweaks IMAGE_FEATURE

2024-11-07T22:17:24+00:00

Remove the 'debug-tweaks' IMAGE_FEATURE. It sounds friendly and kind to developers, but it results primarily in an image which root can login remotely without a password. This is incredibly useful for local development and testing purposes, but we really want to be explicit that this is what is happening instead of hiding it behind a vague "debug tweaks" statement. To preserve the eixsting behaviour, debug-tweaks should be replaced with these features: allow-empty-password empty-root-password allow-root-login post-install-logging (From OE-Core rev: 2c229f9542c6ba608912e14c9c3f783c3fa89349) Signed-off-by: Ross Burton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

Fix missing leading whitespace with ':append'

2023-01-26T21:06:57+00:00

Mitigate occurences where ':append' operator is used and leading whitespace character is obviously missing, risking inadvertent string concatenation.

core-image.bbclass: Exclude openssh complementary packages

2022-09-08T13:59:39+00:00

Openssh (main) package may be marked for installation via complementary packages mechanism if sftp-server is installed and this causes conflict with dropbear [Yocto #14858] [1]. Excluding openssh complementary packages if packagegroup-core-ssh-dropbear is in PACKAGE_INSTALL fixes this issue. To install openssh complementary packages in the images with ssh-server-dropbear they may be added manually into the list because they will be excluded from the installation even if corresonding class (dev-pkg or dbg-pkgs) inherited. [1] Error: Problem: problem with installed package dropbear-2020.81-r0.core2_64 - package dropbear-2020.81-r0.core2_64 conflicts with openssh provided by openssh-8.9p1-r0.core2_64 - package openssh-8.9p1-r0.core2_64 conflicts with dropbear provided by dropbear-2020.81-r0.core2_64 - package openssh-ptest-8.9p1-r0.core2_64 requires openssh, but none of the providers can be installed - conflicting requests (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages) (From OE-Core rev: fa08030b32c2bf77889c23f964892f46e84994a3) Signed-off-by: Pavel Zhukov Signed-off-by: Pavel Zhukov Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

classes: rootfs-postcommands: autologin root on serial-getty

2022-08-12T14:46:49+00:00

when empty-root-password AND serial-autologin-root are part of the IMAGE_FEATURES, save some of the developers time by not having to type the (then still sole) 'root' username on the serial console after each and every reboot this is done by inserting '--autologin root' into the command line of the responsible 'getty' service (From OE-Core rev: 01b3cb46405f814e27cab5290118211786cd63a0) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schneider Signed-off-by: Luca Ceresoli Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
