**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Mar 11 02:59:58 2016 Mar 11 08:51:01 bluelightning: hi Mar 11 08:51:48 I think it is time to move most recipes from meta-initramfs to meta-handheld Mar 11 09:33:01 hi ant_work Mar 11 09:33:27 someone asked me about something relating to meta-initramfs the other day, I meant to forward you the email Mar 11 09:36:08 it seems most people are satisfied putting the INITRAMFS_IMAGE in local.conf for their needs Mar 11 09:36:32 and as it is now, two kernel builds together are not allowed Mar 11 09:36:47 (-yocto kernels) Mar 11 09:36:55 done Mar 11 09:37:24 so JaMa blacklisted linux-yocto-rt, linux-yocto-tiny and linux-yocto-tiny-kexecboot Mar 11 09:37:39 in his autobuilder Mar 11 09:37:41 sigh Mar 11 09:38:22 without enough manpower keeping a linux-yocto-* recipe around is not good Mar 11 09:38:55 in meta-handheld we already use linux-handheld and locally I have linux-kexecboot to push Mar 11 09:39:01 it is a little frustrating I agree... Mar 11 09:39:14 it's not a major issue :) Mar 11 09:39:34 I do test builds and all is fine Mar 11 09:39:50 btw I just had a thought - there have been some discussions about multi-config support perhaps in the next development cycle Mar 11 09:39:57 btw I still have to understand the changes wrt thumb... Mar 11 09:40:10 the main use case for that being multi-machine in the same build Mar 11 09:40:32 potentially we could use that to support linux-yocto and linux-yocto-kexecboot side-by-side Mar 11 09:41:42 see, if it is just a couple of machines, the hook in meta-initramfs plus .bbappend in bsp layer doesn't make sense Mar 11 09:41:58 better to collapse all in meta-handheld (imho) Mar 11 09:42:24 I don't think meta-initramfs is widely used, maybe th eklibc part Mar 11 09:43:38 ok, got the email Mar 11 09:44:21 I reckon there is no good documentation Mar 11 09:44:42 in oe-core Mar 11 09:45:15 where should I put a couple of notes about the 'old way' to embed initramfs? Mar 11 09:45:23 in local.conf? in kernel.bbclass? Mar 11 09:47:00 I'm not sure... ideally though it would be properly covered in the YP manuals Mar 11 10:01:40 there are confusing comments here Mar 11 10:01:41 http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/classes/kernel.bbclass#n30 Mar 11 10:02:23 and a (recent ?) undocumented change Mar 11 10:02:25 http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/commit/meta-initramfs/recipes-kernel/linux?id=c24380fbf98da5ba106888e31f0e9d95b7fbe5e6 Mar 11 10:02:44 iirc there is an open Yocto bug about this documentation Mar 11 10:05:44 I think it would be better to expand the text in kernel.bbclass Mar 11 10:05:49 for now Mar 11 10:22:19 about the request in your email, I have to build that once Mar 11 10:22:43 lately there is some new cruft in initramfs-kexecboot image Mar 11 10:23:12 I guess I should inherit core-image-base as done by the initramfs-debug-image in question **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Mar 12 02:59:58 2016
