linux/poky.git/meta/recipes-core/busybox/files/syslog, 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The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.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

busybox: Set PATH in syslog initscript

2023-10-06T10:51:11+00:00

This script is not always called with /sbin and /usr/sbin in the PATH already, for example when called via ssh. Explicitly set PATH to make sure it includes /sbin and /usr/sbin since that's where start-stop-daemon is located.

busybox: Fix typo in syslog initscript

2019-06-27T12:28:48+00:00

The change to ensure the existing processes shut down had a clear copy and paste error. This really fixes syslog to avoid errors on restart. (From OE-Core rev: 9f674a88c781c7092d5b3460922a1579b9fe4bf9) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

busybox: Improve syslog restart handling

2019-06-27T11:20:36+00:00

We're seeing races on the autobuilder where syslogd fails to shut down fast enough to be restarted leading to failures. Add some checks to ensure when restarting that processes exit before being restarted. (From OE-Core rev: 04de384256ad321834cf5e3dbb9a8d3ea2ab66c2) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

syslog: Change unused variable declaration LOCAL=0 to LOG_LOCAL=1

2014-09-29T11:12:43+00:00

This fix allows the correct appending of -L to syslogd arguments when both file and remote logging are selected. (From OE-Core rev: ca68019760de6c5d5401be8eae7e65e7e6ca9021) Signed-off-by: Michael Gloff Signed-off-by: Ross Burton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

busybox: enable dropping of duplicates in syslog, off by default

2012-01-19T11:34:09+00:00

Busybox syslog includes functionality to drop duplicated syslog entries, enable this feature in the defconfig yet disable it by default. Expose configuration of the feature through the syslog-startup.conf file and the syslog init script.

busybox: enable log level configuration in syslog-startup.conf and script

2012-01-19T11:34:09+00:00

It's possible to configure busybox syslog to only log messages above a certain level, expose this functionality through the syslog-startup.conf and syslog init script. Valid values are 1-8 inclusive.

busybox: drop MARKINT option from init script and syslog-startup.conf

2012-01-19T11:34:08+00:00

This option has been disabled in busybox since 2007 as it was deemed too buggy. See: http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=4998c818919477d90674a3f220e7407c26da17f9 (From OE-Core rev: 0e85cd35a71fe14adc3da9b756b919836b687a12) Signed-off-by: Joshua Lock Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

busybox: rename syslog.conf to syslog-startup.conf

2012-01-04T12:02:44+00:00

Busybox 1.19 introduced basic support for an rsyslog inspired syslog.conf whereas we've been shipping syslog.conf as a file to be sourced by the syslog init script in order to configure which options busybox's syslog is started with. Busybox 1.19 in syslog mode chokes on our syslog.conf and doesn't start. This patch renames the syslog.conf we ship to syslog-startup.conf in order to prevent busybox trying to parse the file as an rsyslog style syslog.conf Fixes [YOCTO #1848] (From OE-Core rev: b406998019b577eac7f758298cc2695372e03d15) Signed-off-by: Joshua Lock Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

Major layout change to the packages directory

2010-08-27T14:29:45+00:00

Having one monolithic packages directory makes it hard to find things and is generally overwhelming. This commit splits it into several logical sections roughly based on function, recipes.txt gives more information about the classifications used. The opportunity is also used to switch from "packages" to "recipes" as used in OpenEmbedded as the term "packages" can be confusing to people and has many different meanings. Not all recipes have been classified yet, this is just a first pass at separating things out. Some packages are moved to meta-extras as they're no longer actively used or maintained.
