18:58 <Skinny> Hi all! This weekend seemed a good weekend to start my Yocto journey! After reading a log of blobs I dove in and I tried to build my first custom system (based on the qemu x86-64 for now). I'm having a bit of a hard time grabbing the concept of recipes. It seems that the 'meta-cloudservices' layer somehow contains the salt(stack) applications. I

18:58 <Skinny> only need 'that', do I stil have to add the complete "layer" to my project ?

19:00 <Skinny> I have added   meta-cloud-services and meta-cloud-services/meta-openstack to my project and added "IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " salt-minion"" to my local.conf. That started to complain about missing dependencies (which I can understand) but now I have a list of over 10 layers added to my project and it still fails to "bake"

19:01 <Skinny> relevant files:  https://gist.github.com/skinny/d5469c64f0a7da6327e0b7205bf0252a

19:02 <Skinny> What piece of the pie/puzzle am I missing ?

19:14 <grembeter[m]> just my guess: are branch names are the same for all layers?

19:33 <Skinny> grembeter[m] I figured it must have been something like that.. checked all meta layers out on the same branch and it's now building..

19:33 <Skinny> What's the easiest /preferred way of keeping those layers in sync ?

19:35 <Skinny> as in : I'd like to share this project (build dir) with my coworkers through git. How do I make sure they check out the right branch of every layer ?

19:42 <grembeter[m]> I know about “repo” tool https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/

19:42 <grembeter[m]> and kas https://github.com/siemens/kas

19:42 <grembeter[m]> I’m sure there are more…

19:42 <grembeter[m]> So that, you need additional git repository, that keeps info about “how to checkout (and build) your project”. And you share it.

19:51 <Skinny> Thanks! will look into those. Build is almost succesful :)

19:51 <Skinny> ``ERROR: salt-3001.1-r0 do_package: QA Issue: salt: Files/directories were installed but not shipped in any package:

19:51 <Skinny> ERROR: salt-3001.1-r0 do_package: Fatal QA errors found, failing task.```

19:52 <Skinny> it sort of makes sense but curious about where and how to solve this (local.conf ?)

20:01 <Skinny> Adding `FILES_salt += "/etc/salt/master"` to my local.conf doesn't make a difference

20:01 <rburton> Do that in the salt recipe itself

20:01 <Skinny> (for that one file)

20:03 <Skinny> hmm.. that sounds like the recipe (from git) is not ok (out of the box) ?

20:03 <Skinny> adding a file in the recipe removes the error for that file but somehow that doesn't sounds right

20:06 <Skinny> sorry for being a n00b but doesn't this way of excluding those files (by editing the recipe) keep me from sharing a yocto project in git ? Now I'm editing something that's pulled from an external source

20:19 <barometz> that's what a bbappend is for

20:19 <barometz> you add a bbappend for the recipe which modifies it without modifying the original files

20:20 <barometz> (or, if possibly, you make a pull request in the upstream repository so it's fixed at the source)

20:27 <Skinny> barometz I know the files mentioned are necessary to run the salt-minion correctly but I need/want to add them from my own layer. I think bbappend (googling that now) is what I need

20:49 <Skinny> ok, I have a working build now that I added the mentioned files to a .bbappend file. yay! However I'd like to have the logrotate files from the salt recipe actually included in my build so modified my local.conf with `IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " logrotate salt-minion"`

20:50 <Skinny> This actually installs logrotate but the system starts complaining again about not having the `/etc/logrotate.d/salt` shipped. Who's responsibility is it (normally) to include those files into the produced image ?

20:53 <fray> do you know what the salt file is for? It would be either the recipe OR an init script to generate it

20:54 <Skinny> I know salt (as in: I use that piece of software) and now I want to include it in a yocto build

20:55 <Skinny> I want the default files that are coming out of the salt compilation (/etc/salt and /etc/logrotate.d/salt) to be included in my output

20:56 <Skinny> when I add `FILES:${PN} += "/etc/salt/master /etc/salt/minion /etc/logrotate.d/*"` to the .bb file of the salt recipe, the errors go away but no files are on the target filesystem

20:56 <Skinny> same behaviour when I add them to a .bbappend file (to be expected imo)

20:57 <Skinny> I would have expected that the files mentioned above (which are part of the output of the salt build) to be included in the final image

22:46 <moto-timo> You need to install the files in do_install maybe?

23:16 <Skinny> FILES:${PN}-minion += "/etc/salt/minion /etc/logrotate.d/salt"

23:16 <Skinny> see the difference ?:)  the package I want is 'salt-minion' instead of 'salt'

23:16 <Skinny> this seems to work but it's very late, need some sleep

23:16 <Skinny> Thanks everyone
