Hi Alex, Thanks for your input - highly appreciated.
It appears you have a point regarding the variable assignment - 'bitbake-getvar OPKGLIBDIR' indeed indicates the intended assignment does not occur: $ bitbake-getvar --value OPKGLIBDIR NOTE: Starting bitbake server... /var/lib Doing the strong assignment (OPKGLIBDIR = "/data-os/opkg") does not make a difference, which puzzles me as all assigments (I am able to grep) are weak: $ rg ^OPKGLIBDIR meta/classes-recipe/rootfs_ipk.bbclass 30:OPKGLIBDIR ??= "${localstatedir}/lib" meta/recipes-devtools/opkg/opkg_0.6.1.bb 32:OPKGLIBDIR ??= "${target_localstatedir}/lib" meta/classes-global/package_ipk.bbclass 24:OPKGLIBDIR ??= "${localstatedir}/lib" However, based on your reply, I am starting to wonder whether what I am trying to achieve is at all possible. The mount '/data-os' is a dedicated partition mounted R/W and used by overlayfs-etc, my assumption was to configure opkg to use this for the meta-data. But if the meta-data is rendered build-time during rootfs creation, I do not see how this is achievable? Thanks, Martin
