linux/poky.git/meta/classes/extrausers.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The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.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

classes: Drop ';' delimiter from ROOTFS/IMAGE*COMMAND variables

2023-09-09T21:14:41+00:00

Originally these were shell functions but they have long since been processed by bb.build.exec_func(). Since we no longer need shell syntax, we can drop the ';' delimiters and just use a space separated string. This cleans up the variable and quietly removes any stray ';' that do happen to still make it in. (From OE-Core rev: c3365dfd9ddd7fbe70b62e0f11166e57a8ca6f73) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

classes: Add SPDX license identifiers

2022-08-12T10:58:01+00:00

As stated in our top level license files, the license is MIT unless otherwise stated. Add SPDX identifers accordingly. Replace older license statementa with the standardised syntax. Also drop "All Rights Reserved" expression as it isn't used now, doesn't mean anything and is confusing. (From OE-Core rev: 081a391fe09a21265881e39a2a496e4e10b4f80b) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

classes: Add copyright statements to files without one

2022-08-12T10:58:01+00:00

Where there isn't a copyright statement, add one to make it explicit. Also drop editor config lines where they were present. (From OE-Core rev: 880c1ea3edc8edef974e65b2d424fc36809ea034) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

Convert to new override syntax

2021-08-02T14:44:10+00:00

This is the result of automated script conversion: scripts/contrib/convert-overrides.py converting the metadata to use ":" as the override character instead of "_". (From OE-Core rev: 42344347be29f0997cc2f7636d9603b1fe1875ae) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

add new extrausers command passwd-expire

2020-11-11T10:08:12+00:00

This enhances extrausers with a new passwd-expire command that causes a local user's password to be expired as if the `passwd --expire` command was run, so the password needs to be changed on initial login. Example: EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS += " useradd ... USER; passwd-expire USER;" Tested: on useradd accounts When configured with Linux-PAM, console login prompts for and can successfully change the password. OpenSSH server works. Dropbear SSH server notes the password must be changed but does not offer a password change dialog and rejects the login request.

extrausers.bbclass: Suggest to use IMAGE_CLASSES rather than INHERIT

2019-01-18T16:24:40+00:00

Since this class is only useful for image recipes, it is better to suggest adding it via IMAGE_CLASSES instead of INHERIT in the example. Also make the example a bit more readable by indenting the variable values.

extrausers: Use static ids when available

2017-01-19T22:47:20+00:00

When creating users at the image level using extrausers class, the current behavior is to ignore the status of USERADDEXTENSION. This could lead to undefined behavior when static ids are expected but the system falls back to dynamic ones.

meta: remove True option to getVar calls

2016-12-16T10:23:23+00:00

getVar() now defaults to expanding by default, thus remove the True option from getVar() calls with a regex search and replace. Search made with the following regex: getVar ?\(( ?[^,()]*), True\) (From OE-Core rev: 7c552996597faaee2fbee185b250c0ee30ea3b5f) Signed-off-by: Joshua Lock Signed-off-by: Ross Burton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

extrausers.bbclass: Use PACKAGE_INSTALL instead of IMAGE_INSTALL

2016-12-16T10:23:22+00:00

The initramfs image recipes changed to use PACKAGE_INSTALL so they will not be affected by IMAGE_INSTALL, and will cause error when inherit extrausers: | ERROR: core-image-minimal-initramfs-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: core-image-minimal-initramfs: usermod command did not succeed. So use PACKAGE_INSTALL as well in extrausers.bbclass to fix it.
