From: Chen Qi <qi.c...@windriver.com> This is part of the systemd integration work.
Now we have two init systems in our project -- SysV and systemd. If we are only using the SysV based systems, everything's happy because the initscripts package will and should be always installed. As a part of the package, the /etc/init.d/functions script is always available. And other init scripts which source this script don't have any problem. Things are different when we are using systemd based systems. Basically the initscripts package is useless in systemd based images and should not be installed. We can do this by setting VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts to "". This leads to the problem that some services failing to start because of lack of the /etc/init.d/functions script. An example is the distcc. The above situation leads to a natural solution of splitting the functions script into a separate package, say, initscripts-functions. As the /etc/init.d/functions script is useful for both SysV and systemd systems, this patch also adds it to the RDEPENDS of packagegroup-core-boot. //Chen Qi The following changes since commit 005af45191ded6185c618c708181b31281e43092: bitbake: fetch2: avoid printing "no checksum" error message twice (2013-12-22 14:29:13 +0000) are available in the git repository at: git://git.pokylinux.org/poky-contrib ChenQi/initscripts-functions http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=ChenQi/initscripts-functions Chen Qi (2): initscripts: split the functions script into a separate package packagegroup-core-boot: make initscripts-functions a basic element of RDEPENDS meta/recipes-core/initscripts/initscripts_1.0.bb | 8 ++++++-- .../packagegroups/packagegroup-core-boot.bb | 1 + 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 1.7.9.5 _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
