Unfortunately we have to have a fixed configuration for smart during do_rootfs,
so it has to be written to. I think though that rather than trying to install
a configuration file for smart using a separate recipe, I would suggest
modifying the smart configuration at the end of do_rootfs to add the
configuration elements you need. The way to do this would be to define a shell
function that you can add a call to in ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND that will
run smart:
add_extra_smart_config() {
smart --data-dir=${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/var/lib/smart channel --add rpmsys
type=rpm-sys -y
}
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "add_extra_smart_config; "
You can put the above in the image recipe itself or in a class that your image
recipe inherits.
Cheers,
Paul
