<whuang> is there a variable I can use to refer to python version? for example python3.8, python3.9
<whuang> there's a recipe that hard codes the python version (export NUMPY_INCLUDE_PATH = "${STAGING_DIR_TARGET}/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/numpy/core/include")

<qschulz> morning
<qschulz> JPEW: I'm not sure your PR works for local builds?
<qschulz> I think at best your local build will be prefixed with the registry name (which, if it works, is confusing)
<qschulz> On podman, I think local images are available with the localhost "registry", so if the same can be said for docker, we can just set registry to localhost when doing a local build?

fleg has joined #yocto
<fleg> hi, I am making a recipe for a CMake-based project, and for some reason while /usr/lib/libmylibrary.so.1.2.3 is packaged correctly, symlink to that file in /usr/lib/libmylibrary.so is split into the -dev package. Is it supposed to work this way, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for help!
<qschulz> fleg: that
<qschulz> 's expected
<fleg> oh, thanks. Is there anything I can do to put those symlinks into the main package, or should I just install the -dev as well on the resulting image?
<qschulz> fleg: why do you want the .so in your rootfs?
eFfeM has joined #yocto
<fleg> the application that I'm packaging depends on the .so
<qschulz> make it depend on the versioned lib if possible (only exception would be if you receive precompiled binaries/libraries)
<fleg> I will try to do that then, thanks!
<qschulz> that's the cleanest way to do it
<qschulz> otherwise, you need to remove the *.so from FILES_${PN}-dev and add it to FILES_${PN} (or another package) IIRC, setting FILES_SOLIBSDEV to "" and adding the two default paths to FILES_${PN} should be enough?
<eFfeM> Hi, can I enforce that in a specific conf users cannot build a specific image recipe?
<qschulz> or add the -dev but I don't know what exactly the consequences are
<qschulz> eFfeM: you could always have a python anonymous function in the image recipe that looks for the current user and fail the parsing
<qschulz> though, if your user have write access to said image recipe, they can remove it
<eFfeM> What I want to achieve is that in a conf that allows GPLv3 code it is not possible to accidently buiild a release image (I have a different conf for release images)
<eFfeM> qschulz: we have a different conf to build release images, but I want to make very sure that things do not get wrong. GPLv3 is to some extend a p.i.t.a.
<eFfeM> I would love to go without it, but for dev purposes we need gdb

camus1 is now known as camus
<qschulz> eFfeM: check the content of INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE from the image recipe?
<fleg> qschulz, I'll try to go the "depend on the versioned .so instead" route first, if I get stuck there then I'll try the other suggestions. Fortunately I build both the libraries and the application, so it should not be an issue
<qschulz> fleg: :+1:
<eFfeM> qschulz: hmm yes that is an idea
<eFfeM> I'll explore after lunch
<qschulz> eFfeM: but it's not bulletproof, because you can unset the INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE per recipe in your conf file or have a package in the whitelist
<qschulz> best option would be to check into the final manifest with the license of all software included in your image and check if there is a GPLv3 in there
<qschulz> you might need to enable buildhistory for that, I don't remember
<qschulz> maybe there's even something built in Yocto/bitbake but I'm not aware of it

<linums> hi
<linums> I see that every branch brings it's own kernel version + the lts, like hardknott comes with 5.10 and 5.4
camus has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
camus1 is now known as camus
<linums> but the libc headers are only present with the version 5.10 on hardknott
<linums> is it right, or should I not use hardknott for 5.4 kernel?
<qschulz> linums: in most cases, you can use newer kernel release headers with an older kernel release
<LetoThe2nd> linums: bruce might probably shed more light on this, but once there is no version selection available you will get the latest of a package, hence run 5.4 kernel and use the 5.10 libc headers.
<linums> thanks, so it is intentional, so I'll select the kernel version, and nothing more
<LetoThe2nd> linums: thats what i woould guess.
BCMM has joined #yocto
<eFfeM> qschulz: yeah I know one can override INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE, I also considered whitelisting gdb and then exclude it from the release image, but the pain is that gdb requires a newer readine than the one in meta-gplv2 and I cannot select a different version of readline in an image
<LetoThe2nd> eFfeM: i personally would probably try BBMASK in the distro combined with an automated test on the resulting artifacts.
<eFfeM> LetoThe2nd: I'm not sure if that would help, I think INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE is a better mechanism
<LetoThe2nd> eFfeM: sure, it always depends.

<override> so the byte for byte image type would be ext3?
<whuang0389> Hi I'm trying to create a recipe that depends on llvm
<whuang0389> Im guessing it needs to be llvm-lite but it's looking for a llvm-config file
<JPEW> override: Ya, any of those file systemd formats (ext3, ext4, etc.) will produce an image you could directly dd into a partition
<whuang0389> so I have a DEPENDS += "llvm-native", but the llvm-native doesn't get compiled... am I missing something?
<whuang0389> or should DEPENDS be enough?
<JPEW> override: If you need a whole disk images (i.e. all the partitions w/ partition table, you need to use wic)
<override> whuang0389: you could check if its a run time or a build time dependency (RDEPENDS vs DEPENDS). and use oe-pkgdata-util to check youve got the right packages in your build..
<whuang0389> maybe my understanding of run tim dependency is wrong.. but I believe that it means they are packages that are required to be pulled in when the source is runned on target?
<whuang0389> if that's the case, I think it'sa build time dependency
<override> whuang0389: yeah then just make sure the recipe the package added as a depends and just maybe add the llvm-config depency to your recipe too. use the oe-pkagdata-util to find the name for whatever dependency you recipe needs...
<override> thats just how I was told to do things.. not a yocto know it all by any standard
<whuang0389> no worries! thanks for some tips!
<override> prolly a dumb question do distro/machine conf includes from different layers require absolute paths, or is YOCTO smart about them?
<qschulz> override: relative to (any) layer root dir
<qschulz> well, relative to the root dir of the layer with the distro/machine conf file
sakoman has joined #yocto
<override> ok, think thats what I got
<override> the manual reads The IMAGE_FSTYPES variable's default value now specifies ext4 instead of ext3. I dont see any of these being made for my builds
<override> are they not made when I have something like IMAGE_FSTYPES += "teziimg" in my machine config?
<override> im just appending to the IMAGE_FSTYPES varaible, I was expecting this would add fstypes on top of the defaults.. ?
<JPEW> override: The defaults are probably "weak" so the += might be overriding them
<override> and since ext4 is supposedly the default would it require something IMAGE_CLASSES_append " image_type_tezi ext5" in my case?
<override> JPEW: when a varaible is "weak" does _append also overrides it, or just +=
<JPEW> override: I'm not sure if ext4 is the default
<override> ive always been curious why we have _append and +=
<JPEW> override: _append is deferred until the end of parsing, += is immediate
<JPEW> override: You should explictly set the IMAGE_FSTYPES you want instead of relying on the defaults
Tokamak has joined #yocto
<JPEW> override: If you are curious about how a variable gets it's value `bitbake -e <image>` will tell you
<override> JPEW: would I need to do an IMAGE_CLASSES_append =" ext5" ? I have that in, but Im still just seeing the texiimg..
<Xagen> does anyone know why you would be able to build an image recipe, but `bitbake <recipe> -c populate_sdk` errors out?
<rburton> Xagen: can you pastebin the error?
<Xagen> sure, one moment
<JPEW> override: I don't think you need that for any of the normal image types. If you are doing other things you might need something
<Xagen> rburton: i'm going to have to rerun the command, so it will be a couple minutes
frieder has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<Xagen> i can see in toaster that json-c, libevent, libsodium, python, and python3 all built
<Xagen> the only thing i could think of is that i need to have toaster run the populate_sdk itself, and that it wouldn't work from the cli, but i couldn't find any place to explicitly run populate_sdk
vd has joined #yocto
<vd> hi all -- after systemd switches root from the initrd, I get a bench of FAILED service, for hardware RNG, network manager, user login management, etc. My guess is an issue with /var. Anyone with a clue?
<whuang0389> ok so, it turns out I do have llvm-config executable pulled in

<override> where are you pulling the source from?
<whuang0389> git
<whuang0389> yea I do have that line
<whuang0389> btw I've used devtool. should i be doing devtool build recipe or bitbake recipe?
<override> to test it out? bitbake recipe
<override> devtool gives you a template for the recipe youre trying to put together
<qschulz> whuang0389: both work just fine

<yates> i need to specify the --sysroot path to gcc when the kernel Makefile for my architecture runs in order to setup the libgcc library
Guest1766 has joined #yocto
Guest1766 has quit [Client Quit]
<yates> but wait - i just realized somewhere, between yocto and the kernel build system, that sysroot is already defined.
<rburton> well, yes
<rburton> did you try grepping oe-core for --sysroot?
<yates> i will
<rburton> conf/bitbake.conf:TOOLCHAIN_OPTIONS = " --sysroot=${STAGING_DIR_TARGET}"
<rburton> if you use ${CC} you get that included
<rburton> so, tell your kernel to use ${CC} not gcc
<rburton> obviously, the standard kernel recipe/classes do this already
<yates> rburton: in my arch's kernel Makefile, there is this line: libs-y += arch/csky/lib/ $(shell $(CC) $(KBUILD_CFLAGS) $(KCFLAGS) -print-libgcc-file-name)
<rburton> right, so ensure CC is passed
<rburton> or use the standard kernel classes that do this for you
<rburton> using kernel.bbclass doesn't mean using linux-yocto
zpfvo has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
Guest44 has joined #yocto
<yates> i'm confused, but let me dig some more before I ask more stupid questions.
<yates> thank you, rburton
<yates> i guess basically i am wondering why yocto isn't already defining CC with the sysroot when this top-level Makefile is run
<rburton> it is
<rburton> export CC = "${CCACHE}${HOST_PREFIX}gcc ${HOST_CC_ARCH}${TOOLCHAIN_OPTIONS}"
* rburton goes to collapse somewhere
<yates> then why is "$(shell $(CC) $(KBUILD_CFLAGS) $(KCFLAGS) -print-libgcc-file-name)" returning just "libgcc.a" and not "<some-path-in-sysroot>/libgcc.a"?
<rburton> because gcc doesn't always give you an absolute path if the result is in the search path
<Guest44> I have problem generating eSDK for my image.my image usages meta-qt layer which has dependency on python3 where as my application are dependent on python2.i am using python2-mako in my applications and same mako is used by meta-qt as well but they use python3.-mako.
<rburton> yates: this works for the standard kernels, therefore you're doing something odd or wrong. i suggest you don't write your own kernel recipe but use linux-yocto with a custom config if needed. if you *really* need to write your own recipe then at least inherit kernel.bbclass
<Guest44> so while generation it tries to install mako-render which is provided by both python packages.My problem is hot disable python3-mako while generation eSDK.
<yates> rburton: i switched to using my own instead of linux-yocto because there were several complications due to this being for a new architecture which is not fully supported in yocto (yet).
<rburton> but are you using mainline kernel?
<yates> yes
<rburton> so use linux-yocto as that is mainline
<yates> 5.12
<yates> using linux-yocto pulls in other machinations unique to linux-yocto which do not work with the architecture i am using. i've already spent weeks tracking down those and decided it was better to based our system on mainline non-linux-yocto to remove dependencies on those machinations
<yates> i resolved a couple, but it was very tedious.
<yates> rburton: CC is not constructed with a --sysroot option when the top-level arch/<arch>/Makefile runs. i just instrumented it: CC = csky-poky-linux-gcc
<yates> neither is there a sysroot in KBUILD_CFLAGS
<yates> not at that time
<yates> i believe the only time gcc emits just the "libgcc.a" filename is when it can't really find it.
<yates> i know that a lower level submake has it defined, but that is after the libs-y has been improperly defined
<yates> so i guess i have to dig and find out what happens between this top-level Makefile and the myriad levels the kernel build system evokes..
<yates> fun!

<JPEW> override: Ya, the "Getting started" documentation for wic needs some help
<JPEW> override: You need to add a ".wic" file system to IMAGE_TYPES as a suffix of the rootfs type you want to embed, e.g. `IMAGE_TYPES += "ext4.wic"`
<JPEW> override: Ugh, sorry, that's wrong. Just add `wic` to `IMAGE_FSTYPES`
<override> JPEW: cool ok think my vendor is using something else, but while we are talking wics
<override> I get the wic to my IMAGE_FSTYPES
<override> im guessing that is in my maching.conf?
<JPEW> override: Usually
<override> then what happens? how do the partions get defined?
<JPEW> override: The code will search for a .wks file; default file to look for is `"${IMAGE_BASENAME}.${MACHINE}.wks"`
<JPEW> You can change it by setting the `WKS_FILE` variable
marka has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
<JPEW> override: It will search in the `wic` directory of every layer

Tokamak has joined #yocto
<JPEW> wic is pretty flexible; if they boot from eMMC you can write a wic file to make the image
<override> eMMC is sd cards and all, right
<override> Im the worst with these terms
<JPEW> Can you share the SoC? A lot already have examples you can start with
<override> im using some som from toradex, let me get u the exact name and all one sec
Guest8 has joined #yocto
<override> toradex verdin imx8m mini

<JPEW> Oh, ya. That one should have pretty good support
<Guest8> Anyone have experience using dmalloc with c++ apps on yocto targets?
<override> sounds good
<override> JPEW thats repo you just wanted me to look at some sample .wks files?
<JPEW> override: Ya, that repo supports the IMX8M so one of those wks files is probably correct?
<JPEW> override: At least as a starting point
<override> yeah, Its beginning to sink in a little
<override> like you add wic to the wic to the IMAGE_FSTYPES then you have a .wks file with the actual partion defintion youre going for..
<JPEW> override: Correct
<override> i get what uboot is, whats uboot spl now?
<JPEW> override: It's highly technical and related to the way that many SoC's boot: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31244862/what-is-the-use-of-spl-secondary-program-loader
<override> yeah, not sure if I should be too concerned about it right now..
<JPEW> override: Basically, u-boot is too big and SoC's can't access RAM immediately, so you need a small SPL to initialize RAM, copy u-boot into it and jump to it
<override> oh, ok. thanks JPEW:
<Tartarus> Dumb question, but wasn't there some way to make local source archives that included the githash in them?
<JPEW> Tartarus: BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALL
<Tartarus> ie for use cases like where you have a single local source mirror that you use when you start building $whatever and $whichever source branch that might be, get the right glibc git hash archive
<Tartarus> JPEW: that only gives me git2_sourceware.org.git.glibc.git.tar.gz for example
<JPEW> Ah, for a specific hash and/or branch?
<Tartarus> Yeah
<Tartarus> I have a site.conf I start with for everything and it has a own-mirror / SOURCE_MIRROR_URL in it
<Tartarus> It's great for everything that's not git, but since I might be on thud or zeus or dunfell or something modern, all of the git stuff isn't a cache hit
<JPEW> Ya, that's not supported.... we run into the same thing all the time :/
<Tartarus> Ugh, I thought it used to be
<Tartarus> Guess it's time for plan B and directories for just the git ones
<Tartarus> I should probably double check the logic for getting uninative stuff too while I'm at it
<Tartarus> I think that's caught normally with own-mirrors
<override> JPEW: you know what WKS_FILE_DEPENDS_append is all about? I think toradex is using the wic image type but its not very out very obvious becuase they define their own image type, which extends wic
<JPEW> override: If you need to include other items in the disk image (e.g. u-boot or other bootloader), you need to tell bitbake to build them before attempting to run wic
<JPEW> `WKS_FILE_DEPENDS` does that.... basically "Wic creation depends on these things"

davidinux has joined #yocto
<override> so this toradex som im working with has a image_type_tezi.bbclass with WKS_FILE_DEPENDS in it. which makes me think toradex is trying to extend the wic image type ... but I cant find a .wks file .. like I see some random ones
<override> JPEW: im just trying to add another partition to the emmc or what ever the nand memory on the board is called, so I can just dd ext4 images to it, tell uboot to boot from that partion, and call this entire thing a system update
<JPEW> override: Ya, pretty standard A/B partition stuff :)
<override> JPEW: yeah it wouldbe been simpler if I didnt have toradex in my way right now
<JPEW> Sounds like they did their own thing instead.... to bad. But the IMX8M has pretty good support, I'm fairly certain you can get it working
<override> yeah think theyre extending the basic wic stuff tho
<override> so if I can file the correct wks file i can just add the swap partion to it
<override> right now I think it just has the one uboot and one kernel partition
<Tartarus> JPEW: OK, so locally I'm fixing this by dropping own-mirrors, and having PREMIRRORS_prepend itself in site.conf with stuff like: git://.*/.* ${SOURCE_MIRROR_URL}/${LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_core} \n which evaluates correctly at least. But please tell me if that's still a horrid idea or something :)
<JPEW> In fact, I'm positive you can get it to work, I've got an IMX8M on my desk that I had booting with wic a few months ago :)
marka has joined #yocto
<override> nice think I'll ditch whatever image class toradex has setup and just add simple wic to my distro
<Tartarus> override: Modifying the tezi images is not easy, sadly.
<override> Tartarus: you know about tezi?
<Tartarus> Which is a problem if you want to use tezi to in turn flash a production run of toradex stuff
<Tartarus> I have (ab)used it before, yes.
<JPEW> override: Here is the specific wks file we use for the IMX8MM: https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale/blob/master/wic/imx-imx-boot-bootpart.wks.in
<override> Im just trying to see if I just went all wic right now. I do a clean wipe of my emmc, then just write a fresh uboot, and kernel partition and swap partition just sits empty for now
<override> I dont need no tezi then do i?
<JPEW> override: Hard to say... it really depends on what else they have done
<Tartarus> It also depends on what you're trying to do, in the end
<override> if i went wic I'll still be doing everything toradex has done, just not making a tezi image? wic image instead
<override> where would i run into issues that way?
<Tartarus> Well, if you're on a toradex SOM, there's important questions
<override> what might those be
<Tartarus> Like, are you doing a one-off personal project? Or is this a company thing that'll have 1k units?
<override> there can be all the units we want for it
<Tartarus> Are you going to flash them, or is toradex?
<override> no we are
<override> like our cm people would
<Tartarus> OK
<override> they can just well I can get to that later
<Tartarus> And you're just now figuring out how they'll do the flashing?
<override> like ive use these dd scripts in the past ..
<Tartarus> There's many ways to install, yes, which is why toradex created yet another one, their 'easy installer'.
<override> yeah im trying to ditch that toradex easy installer stuff myself
<Tartarus> OK, then yeah, look at the wks that JPEW mentioned
<override> they use some library that doesnt work on osx for one thing
<override> easy installer has some universal update utility dependency which doesnt work on osx
<Tartarus> Then you can shove your product-image.wic.xz inside of installer-image.wic, and write installer-image.wic to SD card and have that boot and uncompress/dd product-image.wic.xz
<override> so I gotta freakin sit at home with where my ubuntu machines at to be able to flash boards
<override> Tartarus: yeah thats more or less what im trying to get it. still sounds quite a mouth full - given how I just figured out how wic is a file system type and wks file has the definition for wic
LetoThe2nd has joined #yocto
<Tartarus> Ah, ok. Yeah, it's all a bit tricky but there's many examples.
<Tartarus> The hard/ugly part comes when you copy image A in to image B
<Tartarus> And that's more ugly than hard.
<override> I dont think I have to take it that far tho
<Tartarus> You do, it'll suck more than not to read the product-image.wks.xz in to U-Boot and write it out
<Tartarus> It's doable, yes, but you're better off not I bet.
<Tartarus> With my U-Boot custodian hat on.
<override> I just copy to what ever partion Im not booting the kernel from and then just tell uboot to boot from this partion the kernel got copied to
zeddii has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
<Tartarus> You may want to explore using fastboot or similar, for flashing, too.
<Tartarus> Fire up U-Boot, then write the disk image that way.
<override> oh so like dd wont cut it?
<Tartarus> Well, dd in Linux? sure
<Tartarus> That's what you can easily automate, with an installer image
<Tartarus> There's in-tree examples for that today
<override> oh crap theres no uboot dd?
<override> for now I was even then when I get that uboot interupt on boot up
florian_kc has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
<Tartarus> There's not "dd" but there is writing, yes
<Tartarus> but you're limited by your amount of DDR
zeddii has joined #yocto
<Tartarus> using fastboot or ums to expose the disk / device to the Linux host is probably easier
<override> fastboot is a uboot utility?
prabhakarlad has joined #yocto
<Tartarus> fastboot is a protocol supported in a lot of ways/places.
<override> how would that do things faster with the same amount of ddR?
<LetoThe2nd> Tartarus: side note: in german "fast" means "almost", which makes this thing named "almost-boot", essentially ;)
<Tartarus> LetoThe2nd: and in turn, very accurate description of this ;)
<LetoThe2nd> Tartarus: hi5
<override> Tartarus: you got a repo or something that I can start looking into. I start trying out JPEW's wic/wks
<override> LetoThe2nd: thanks for linking me to that distro, machines, images youtube the other day. I still dont know the best way to like include stuff on top of vendors machine/distro, but I got a lot of stuff out of my local.conf
<Tartarus> override: No, most of the time what I need is in meta-freeescale or meta-freescale-3rdparty
<LetoThe2nd> override: have fun then.
<Tartarus> Have you checked meta-freescale-3rdparty for the boad you're using?
<override> no, ill make sure to look there
<override> they got some interesting wks files there?
<override> LetoThe@nd: what am I having fun with again?
<LetoThe2nd> override: life, the universe and everything, hopefully.
<override> LetoThe2nd: got it. enjoying all that is the least of my worries. Just his wic stuff and all that keeps me worried.

<override> why am i seeing .wks files in my build directory?
florian_kc is now known as florian
<JPEW> override: is your input file a .wks.in file?
linums has quit [Quit: Client closed]
<override> i have a feeling ... Im still not a hundred percent
<JPEW> The code will do variable expansion on .wks.in files, so I *think* it writes out the final .wks (with the variables expanded) for reference
<override> im trying to see what .wks would come out of this recipe.. https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/6f8wgTwxTy/
<override> well, its a bbclass to be precise
<override> or more like what /wks file will this class be referring to

<JPEW> override: easiest way to tell is to do `bitbake -e <image> | grep ^WKS_FILE`
<override> nice, forgot about that
Schlumpf has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]
<override> JPEW: so I can find the first wks.in but the second one doesnt seem to exist. is that just some vraible expansion or something going on?
<override> WKS_FILES="imx-imx-boot-bootpart.wks.in Reference-Minimal-Image.wks"
<Xagen> is there a way, through bitbake, to show what a `do_populate_sdk` for a given image would think is available to be added to it?
goliath has quit [Quit: SIGSEGV]
<JPEW> override: WKS_FILES is a *little* annoying because it stops as soon as it finds one
<JPEW> It doesn't generate one of each as you might expect :)
<override> but why is it listing Reference-Minimal-Image.wks
<override> that file doesnt seem to exist anywhere
<JPEW> override: Someone added it.... `bitbake -e` can tell you who added it
<JPEW> override: Ya, I'm not sure?
<override> JPEW: so like bitbake -e | grep Reference-Minimal-Image should work?
<JPEW> override: `bitbake -e <image> > env.txt` then look through the file
<JPEW> It will give the "history" of the variables in a comment above each one so you can see how each was modified
<override> JPEW: Im getting ERROR: Only one target can be used with the --environment option.
<override> when I try something like bitbake -e tdx-reference-minimal-image env.txt
<JPEW> Right, I usually redirect to a file (`> env.txt`) because it is a lot of outputy
<override> ahh ok.. thanks
<JPEW> I can see why that might be confusing with the `<>` I put around `image`
<override> so wis is an image type or a file system type?

<Nullcast> Hi all, This may be more of an opkg question but that's a Yocto repo so... What's the minimum set of options for installing packages into an offline root tree that's opkg-based? Because --offline-root and --conf still gives me a setup that doesn't see existing packages.
<Nullcast> Opkg version is 0.4.1 for ref

<kergoth> override: "image only"? i don't know what you mean. an image fs type can be a rootfs type, i.e. ext4, or a disk image, i.e. wic. if all you want is a kernel, don't build an image recipe at all, just bitbake virtual/kernel and use the kernel image in tmp*/deploy/images/
<override> kergoth: whats the difference between a rootfs and a disk image?
Guest8 has quit [Quit: Client closed]
<Nullcast> A rootfs is an image(or tree) of / with your standard packages installed on it? It should be a (mostly) complete system.
Nullcast has quit [Quit: Client closed]
<kergoth> a rootfs is just the root filesystem only, no partition table, etc.

<override> kergoth, a disk image can have multiple partitions?

zyga has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
<Nullcast> I think I found my problem: The copy of opkg on my build server is one I added to my SDK. Apparently it's writing status in a local copy of the SDK sysroot path for /var/lib/opkg and I'm not sure which path option overrides that.g/
<Tartarus> So, uh, has anyone discussed rpm+zstd in general recently? I ask since I just needed to whack in a closed source rpm that was also using zstd on the inside, and rpm2cpio.sh blew up badly, and then I think since our rpm-native doesn't know zstd I had to drop in zstd -d in the pipe for do_install.
<Tartarus> Wondering what direction I should take to deal with this if at all, upstream :)
<Tartarus> (PACKAGECONFIG zstd to rpm?)
<JPEW> Tartarus: Someone was looking into it, I do not recall who unfortunatley
<Tartarus> I'll keep an eye on the ML then. Or if they don't show up in a while, feel free to poke me then
<RP> JPEW, Tartarus: was kanavin
<Tartarus> Ah, ok, so not a drive-by
<RP> he is on holiday for a bit
<RP> Tartarus: basically I think it is due in the next release at which point we might try it again. It was unstable until now
<RP> our plan is to switch
<Tartarus> Customer project is dunfell for now, might move up to next LTS
<Tartarus> Ah, OK. So this particular bit of closed source stuff is ahead of the RPM recommended features anyhow?
<RP> Tartarus: I think so
BobPungartnik has joined #yocto
<Tartarus> Makes a bit more sense then, ok
<RP> Tartarus: I know kanavin did try it and it was all a bit too much of an experiment last time we looked so we were waiting
