Right, I didn't even consider it like that. But yeah, theoretically we could drop the wic variant if you only use fsimage in your wks file. But I think they sort of complement each other though. Since the rootfs plugin does exist in wic, it makes sense that it would also support --exclude-path. If you have a partition setup like this: part1: Everything except /usr part2: Everything inside /usr except /usr/share part3: /usr/share This would not be possible without --exclude-path support in wic, since part2 would have to be constructed using the wic rootfs plugin, but would need to exclude /usr/share. In any case, I will definitely look at implementing the do_image_ext4 variant as well. I'll post more info about that when I have it. -- Kristian -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
