I was under the (mistaken) impression that my recipe will run in addition to, not instead of, sysvinit-inittab (occurring after it and overwriting its inittab with my custom version). > Have you verified (by way of the image manifest written next to the image > file) that this package > is actually being installed? The manifest shows both sysvinit-inittab and my package being installed in the image, but sysvinit-inittab's inittab apparently takes precedence over mine. > What steps have you taken to ensure that it does get installed in preference > to sysvinit-inittab? None, due to my mistaken impression. After investigating your kind inference with help of Yocto manual, I replaced in my recipe: DEPENDS += " sysvinit-inittab" with: RREPLACES_${PN} = "sysvinit-inittab" and it appears to be working now. I've been using Yocto for a year now, but still feel like I'm barely scratching the surface of it. I tend to get things to work by floundering about, so even though it does works, I would appreciate knowing if this was the most proper course of action.
