Aug 13 03:25:48 <tcpdump> hello everyone.
Aug 13 03:26:16 <tcpdump> I've built yocto for my embedded device and im finding that my /var/log directory is volatile and gets destroyed on a reboot.
Aug 13 03:26:20 <tcpdump> Anyone seen tha tbefore?
Aug 13 03:38:34 <kergoth> tcpdump: yes, that's the default behavior, both to support read-only-rootfs and reduce flash writes for devices with flash media rootfs. it can be overridden, but we don't document the method, afaik. would be worth checking the yocto docs on that
Aug 13 03:39:35 <tcpdump> kergoth: thanks!  I suppose an easier "fix" would be to put non-volatile logs in a different location?
Aug 13 03:39:45 <tcpdump> so is /var/log a ramdisk then?
Aug 13 03:40:21 <kergoth>  /var/log and /var/tmp are symlinked into /var/volatile, which is a tmpfs. so yes, though indirectly
Aug 13 12:02:41 <zzeroo> Hi, I want to update my image buildsystem to the lastes yocto master. Now one of my self made BSP fails with 'Deprecated variable(s) found: "IMAGE_DEPENDS_sdcard"'. But there is no IMAGE_DEPENDS_sdcard in all of my recipes.
Aug 13 15:56:02 <khem> zzeroo: its probably coming from one of BSP layers you depend on
Aug 13 15:56:13 <khem> zzeroo: what all layers are in the mix
Aug 13 15:57:44 <khem> wherever you have it it needs to be replaced with do_image-sdimg[depends]
