Currently, the rootfs.py removes base-passwd, shadow, update-rc.d, update-alternatives and run-postinsts when package-management not in IMAGE_FEATURES, this causes two problems:
1) This makes we can't install the removed pkgs to rootfs, such as IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " shadow", the shadow can't installed (first installed, then removed) 2) The base-passwd has been removed, but the /etc/passwd and /etc/group are still existed since they are generated by preinst, this would confuse the user, and we can't add a postuninst to remove /etc/passwd and /etc/group since they are required when runtime. I think that we should not remove any pkgs by default, we can add some interfaces/ways to let the user decide whether to remove them or any other pkgs, for example, add a REMOVE_PACKAGS variable, leave it as NULL or only add run-postinsts to it by default. -- Thanks Robert -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
