I don't have my -contrib accounts yet so can't do pull requests, but these are simple.
These patches build on the following unmerged fixes for pseudo's support for --without-passwd-fallback: http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/81591/ http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/81593/ http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/81595/ The new patches use --without-passwd-fallback, preventing contamination from the host files during the early build stages when the target versions from base-passwd aren't yet available. Experimentation with adding an explicit DEPENDS="base-passwd" showed that approach would touch a large number of recipes. For some of those recipes, the dependency became circular because base-passwd includes a target utility program that can't be built without glibc and other files that can't be installed without the ability to look up user and group names. The solution chosen is to use the capability in the previous patches to install last-resort passwd and group in ${STAGING_DIR_NATIVE}, and use those only when the files are not present in ${STAGING_DIR_TARGET}. The last-resort files must contain the usernames (root) and groups (root, mail) that are specified in meta/files/fs-perms.txt so that packaging succeeds. Only names required for a successful build have been provided in these fall-back files, and the id values match those in the base-passwd files. I've done a clean (no sstate) core-image-sato build in poky for beaglebone+systemd with no issues. Further, with this patch the true host uid/username/gid/groupname contamination noted in my email last night has been eliminated. Unfortunately there are still cases where the build system gid ends up as the gid of installed files. I believe that any issues that do arise will represent a true dependency on base-passwd that should be added to the failing recipe. Peter A.
