linux/poky.git/meta/recipes-core/initscripts/initscripts-1.0/volatiles, 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The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.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

initscripts: Update volatiles documentation to include binds

2019-02-19T16:14:57+00:00

Volatiles processing now handles bind mounts, so update the comment in the core file to indicate this. (From OE-Core rev: 520e8f5721aab90815186533038c2f9f834546d5) Signed-off-by: Joshua Watt Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

initscripts: support persistent /var/log

2017-08-18T09:40:26+00:00

Respect VOLATILE_VAR_LOG variable so that if it's set to any valid boolean false value, we could have persistent /var/log on the final image. [YOCTO #6132] (From OE-Core rev: 50914c4a84e0fb6b9bf6bb1864a2d653218753ce) Signed-off-by: Chen Qi Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

initscripts: populate-volatile: improve config file parsing

2016-12-13T22:55:19+00:00

This improves the config file parsing to permit blank lines and comments following an entry or preceeded by whitespace. (From OE-Core rev: 415eaacb83b1c6df5210fb423e3e96e530b1dc42) Signed-off-by: Mans Rullgard Signed-off-by: Ross Burton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

base-files: add /run directory from FHS 3 draft specification

2013-05-29T21:07:56+00:00

This adds the /run directory from the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 3.0 Draft [1] and refactors the filesystem as follows: - Remove creation of /var/volatile/run - Remove creation of /var/volatile/lock - Remove symbolic link from /var/run to /var/volatile/run - Remove symbolic link from /var/lock to /var/volatile/lock - Add symbolic link from /var/run to /run - Add symbolic link from /var/lock -> /run/lock - Add /run to /etc/fstab for sysvinit compatibility [1] http://www.linuxbase.org/betaspecs/fhs/fhs.html#runRuntimeVariableData (From OE-Core rev: 0e326280a15b0f2c4ef2ef4ec441f63f55b75873) Signed-off-by: Jonathan Liu Signed-off-by: Saul Wold Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

udev: move /run volatile entry to udev instead of initscripts

2013-03-26T22:43:05+00:00

initscripts is generally installed on systemd-using images, but because it specifies that /run is a symlink to /var/run managed by volatiles it totally breaks systemd by copying/deleting /run from underneath systemd. Deleting sockets mid-boot doesn't leave systemd in a happy place. As this volatile reference of /run was introduced by udev 182, move it's reference to the udev recipe. This way it will never be present on systemd images, as systemd manages /run as a tmpfs itself.

initscripts: let populate-volatile.sh create the /tmp link

2013-02-06T09:37:27+00:00

Previously, the /tmp link (/tmp -> /var/tmp) was created by the bootmisc.sh script. So in case of a read-only rootfs, this symlink would not be created correctly. The populate-volatile.sh script is intended to handle all directories and files related to volatile storage, so we should let it create the /tmp link. In addition, because of the improments of populate-volatile.sh, the data loss problem of bug#3404 is also resolved by this patch.

udev: upgrade to 182

2012-10-25T16:50:19+00:00

This is the final upgrade of udev. Futher upgrades will only come in conjunction with systemd. The v4l1 removal patch is deprecated as the bug is fixed inside udev. There is a new patch fixing the path for default sh interpreter. New debug binaries are generated, and udev.inc is modified to package those correctly. The install locations changed for udevd and udevadm, so the scripts are updated accordingly.

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.
