Revert "kernel-module-split: rrecommend kernel-image instead of rdepend"

2017-09-12T22:55:28+00:00

This reverts commit e0ed52c51464855e9a6a37ea49df7efde7e91076. Commit e0ed52c514 ('kernel-module-split: rrecommend kernel-image instead of rdepend') changed kernel modules to rrecommend kernel-image instead of rdepend on kernel. This broke existing setups, where the kernel is omitted by setting RDEPEND_kernel-base = "". Revert the patch, as the existing way of omitting kernel-image in images works just fine.

kernel-module-split: rrecommend kernel-image instead of rdepend

2017-08-23T07:47:02+00:00

Hard depending on the kernel makes it impossible to install kernel modules without getting the kernel image installed too. This is inconvenient in e.g. initramdisks, where the kernel is loaded from outside the initramdisk. Making the kernel modules rrecommend kernel-image- instead of rdepending on it, makes it possible to install kernel modules without the kernel image by setting "kernel-image" in BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS.

meta: Fix return value checks from subprocess.call()'s

2017-06-28T19:55:08+00:00

Python function subprocess.call() returns the return value of the executed process. If return values are not checked, errors may go unnoticed and bad things can happen. Change all callers of subprocess.call() which do not check for the return value to use subprocess.check_call() which raises CalledProcessError if the subprocess returns with non-zero value. https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html#using-the-subprocess-module All users of the function were found with: $ git grep "subprocess\.call" | \ egrep -v 'if.*subprocess\.call|=\ +subprocess\.call|return.*subprocess\.call' Tested similar patch on top of yocto jethro. Only compile tested core-image-minimal on poky master branch.

kernel: use ${nonarch_base_libdir} for kernel modules installation.

Replace hardcoded '/lib' in kernel modules installation path with ${nonarch_base_libdir}, which is meant exactly for this. (From OE-Core rev: 22f5ba7154fcbe826d0a3283740903312b2aab46) Signed-off-by: Amarnath Valluri Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

This reverts commit 0ccb2efe9837e2915c093341a662dffc1df00866. The OVS fails to function and the kernel modules cannot be found by any of the kernel tools such as depmod because they are installed into the wrong directory in multilib 64bit/32bit bulids.

kernel-module-split: Append KERNEL_VERSION string to kernel module name

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

The KERNEL_VERSION string is added to kernel module package names in order to make the kernel modules for different kernel versions distinct packages instead of different versions of the same package. With this change, when a new kernel is installed together with its kernel modules (e.g. by upgrade of the packages kernel and kernel-modules) using some package manager such as apt-get or rpm, the kernel modules for the older kernel will not be removed. This enables a fall back to the older kernel if the new one fails. Also, for backwards compatibility and to enable kernel version agnostic dependencies to kernel modules, create a virtual package with the old (shorter) kernel module package name using RPROVIDES.
