**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Dec 10 03:00:00 2018 Dec 10 10:20:57 hello, I would like to discuss this commit in the toybox recipe: http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/commit/meta-oe/recipes-core/toybox/toybox/OE-path-changes.patch?id=cdd3e9ab99d4ffda673b564ba802b6bd2d40eabf Dec 10 10:21:19 It says it fixes toybox symlink paths to comply with OE conventions Dec 10 10:21:54 Is there a single place where I can see what are the OE path conventions for standard system tool paths? Dec 10 10:28:57 paulbarker: hello, if I remember correctly you are an OE toybox user, could you please comment on my question above? Dec 10 12:49:13 eduardas_m: bitbake.conf. Dec 10 14:18:42 kergoth: I do not see how exactly it defines the appropriate paths for installing system utilities like ps, dd or sed on the target Dec 10 14:19:58 according to the patch OE convention is installing ps in /bin and not /usr/bin as toybox does that Dec 10 14:20:34 I am looking for code in poky that actually would define conventions as such Dec 10 14:20:56 if not code, then documentation Dec 10 14:22:05 something that would say "OE tries to adhere to FHS for these utilities" or something of that sort Dec 10 14:23:52 I have written about this on the toybox mailing list: http://lists.landley.net/pipermail/toybox-landley.net/2018-December/009969.html Dec 10 14:24:05 would be great if anyone were to comment on this Dec 10 14:37:50 eduardas_m: exactly which variables from bitbake.conf are used by the package is controlled by the recipe and any classes it inherits Dec 10 14:38:07 and yes, oe distros aim for fhs compliance Dec 10 14:38:13 which is why all the fhs paths are defined in bitbake.conf Dec 10 14:48:28 kergoth: thank you for the answer, but as far as I know nowhere in the Yocto or OE documentation is it explicitly stated that OE aims for FHS compliance Dec 10 14:49:39 kergoth: also, do you feel projects such as toybox should comply with FHS or OE should patch those instead of upstreaming changes? Dec 10 18:22:04 still using morty and wic sdcard image, getting a lot of swapping when it hits do_rootfs Dec 10 18:23:48 build box has 6 cores/8 GB ram with -j6 and bb-threads=4 Dec 10 18:24:10 is there a way to make do_rootfs drop the -j6? Dec 10 18:25:29 it used to build fine on my (much slower) laptop, not sure what changed... Dec 10 19:05:30 if I install kernel-devsrc on a device with a toolchain, should I be able to build an OOT kernel module on the device? Dec 10 20:14:23 Crofton: yes Dec 10 22:26:28 rburton, more bad news wrt mipsel today.. one binary is giving Illegal instruction Dec 10 22:26:45 I have to rebuild from scratch, too many changes Dec 10 22:27:07 if it repeats I'll open a bug **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Dec 11 03:00:01 2018
