linux/poky.git/meta/recipes-support/user-creation, 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The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.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

meta: set S from UNPACKDIR in recipes that use only local files

2025-06-20T11:07:26+00:00

There is no need to have two assignments; also setting S from UNPACKDIR (and not vice versa) is more logical as unpack task comes first, and tasks that come after unpack use S to access unpack results. Also adjust reference test data in selftest/recipeutils to reflect changes in test recipes.

recipes: Ensure S is set to a valid directory

2024-05-21T11:08:04+00:00

Several recipes have S pointing at a directory that does not exist. Set S in these cases to somethig valid making the metadata and recipe behaviour more consistent. Tweak one of the QA test diff offsets to match the changed recipe. (From OE-Core rev: 22f1f5849a9a3bf287dbe8933546e52e39ddc86e) Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

recipes: Update WORKDIR references to UNPACKDIR

2024-05-02T14:15:51+00:00

Since we want to be able to stop unpacking to WORKDIR, correct the WORKDIR references in recipe do_compile/do_install tasks to use UNPACKDIR in the appropraite places instead. (From OE-Core rev: d73595df69667fe9d12ecd407b77a0b8dae2109c) 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

xuser-account: remove GROUPADD_PARAM

The group shutdown had been provided by base-passwd, otherwise, it may cause sysvinit failed to build: $ bitbake xuser-account sysvinit && bitbake xuser-account sysvinit -ccleansstate && bitbake sysvinit [snip] | chown: invalid user: root.shutdown [snip] (From OE-Core rev: d72793ca3cbedca3eaca2a7c62f4c93d3c3af358) Signed-off-by: Robert Yang Signed-off-by: Ross Burton Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

xuser-account: Take over xuser specific D-Bus policy

2015-10-01T14:07:49+00:00

Move connmans xuser-related D-Bus policy to a separate file that xuser-account installs: This way connman does not need to depend on xuser-account. Add policies for bluez and ofono in the same file.

Replace one-line DESCRIPTION with SUMMARY

2014-01-02T12:50:18+00:00

A lot of our recipes had short one-line DESCRIPTION values and no SUMMARY value set. In this case it's much better to just set SUMMARY since DESCRIPTION is defaulted from SUMMARY anyway and then the SUMMARY is at least useful. I also took the opportunity to fix up a lot of the new SUMMARY values, making them concisely explain the function of the recipe / package where possible.

xuser-account: add xuser to disk group

2013-07-18T20:23:45+00:00
