**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Oct 28 02:59:58 2019 Oct 28 10:23:11 Hi, just a short question about layer management: If your build consists of dozen layers: Do you use any particular scripts or tools to record/restore the git state of each layer? Oct 28 10:23:27 Apart of doing it manually, for each layer/git-repository Oct 28 11:22:47 ThomasD13: common techniques are 1) kas 2) repo 3) git submodules Oct 28 12:14:09 thank you LetoThe2nd Oct 28 21:13:17 is there any way to write wic files on systems that can't run `parted`? Oct 28 21:13:22 am i going to have to use a VM just for this? Oct 28 21:14:56 wbn: actually that sounds strange, usually the build process is totally meant to be user-capabilities only Oct 28 21:15:29 wbn: are you maybe using a very special wks script that tries some tricks? Oct 28 21:16:03 so i have the WIC file already, i just want to write it to a disk Oct 28 21:16:29 well if you want to write it to a disk, then you need the permissions to do so Oct 28 21:16:40 but thats not an OE issue Oct 28 21:16:47 well Oct 28 21:17:03 i ran the build on a container, the container isn't allowed to access host USB resources. so i copied the wic file to the host. Oct 28 21:17:15 ok, so...? Oct 28 21:17:33 openembedded-core/scripts/wic depends on `parted` being installed Oct 28 21:18:06 you can do "bitbake wic-tools" (or perhaps just "bitbake parted-native" would be sufficient) Oct 28 21:18:17 there is no version of parted that runs on my host OS Oct 28 21:18:24 but that of course assumes you have all the prerequisites installed to do *that* Oct 28 21:23:56 armpit: finished the vip thing? Oct 28 21:23:59 :P Oct 28 21:28:19 i did not go. unless vip means "Very Important Pint" ; ) Oct 28 21:28:31 armpit: of course thats what i mean! Oct 28 21:49:37 if you have a wic disk image, you don't have to use wic itself if all you need to do is write it to the disk.. Oct 28 21:49:47 oce you have the disk image you can write it with bmaptool or just dd/ Oct 28 21:51:40 wbn: a .wic is just a raw disk image Oct 28 21:51:50 * rburton uses systemd-nspawn to boot a .wic Oct 28 21:53:49 rburton: interesting, any writeup on that? Oct 28 21:58:13 sudo systemd-nspawn --boot --ephemeral --machine=bob --image "$IMAGE" Oct 28 21:58:42 with MACHINE=intel-corei7-64 Oct 28 21:58:54 the wic is an EFI partition image, which nspawn knows how to boot Oct 28 21:58:56 hmmmm interesting Oct 28 21:59:09 lovely and fast iteration on stuff like 'have i fixed this ptest' Oct 28 21:59:33 oh yeah Oct 28 21:59:37 runs on my xeon without overhead so nice and fast, boots in about a second Oct 28 22:00:10 unless the image is 8G or so then the --ephemeral is the cause of slowdown :) Oct 28 22:01:14 rburton: obviously its not cross-arch, but feel its got some cool usecases Oct 28 22:01:30 right Oct 28 22:01:45 note added to blog about it Oct 28 22:01:54 because its damn useful if you're targetting IA Oct 28 22:04:55 might make that a topic for some livecoding session Oct 28 23:30:37 kergoth: ahhhh that is very useful info Oct 28 23:30:40 tnx **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Oct 29 03:02:49 2019
