2021-08-02global: overrides syntax conversionBruce Ashfield
OEcore/bitbake are moving to use the clearer ":" as an overrides separator. This is pass one of updating the meta-virt recipes to use that syntax. This has only been minimally build/runtime tested, more changes will be required for missed overrides, or incorrect conversions Note: A recent bitbake is required: commit 75fad23fc06c008a03414a1fc288a8614c6af9ca Author: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org> Date: Sun Jul 18 12:59:15 2021 +0100 bitbake: data_smart/parse: Allow ':' characters in variable/function names It is becomming increasingly clear we need to find a way to show what is/is not an override in our syntax. We need to do this in a way which is clear to users, readable and in a way we can transition to. The most effective way I've found to this is to use the ":" charater to directly replace "_" where an override is being specified. This includes "append", "prepend" and "remove" which are effectively special override directives. This patch simply adds the character to the parser so bitbake accepts the value but maps it back to "_" internally so there is no behaviour change. This change is simple enough it could potentially be backported to older version of bitbake meaning layers using the new syntax/markup could work with older releases. Even if other no other changes are accepted at this time and we don't backport, it does set us on a path where at some point in future we could require a more explict syntax. I've tested this patch by converting oe-core/meta-yocto to the new syntax for overrides (9000+ changes) and then seeing that builds continue to work with this patch.

2020-11-05container-base: make CONTAINER_SHELL a conditional image installBruce Ashfield
In some scenarios (and package managers), packages post install scripts may have references to /bin/sh. The package manager doesn't know if the scripts will run on the build host or target, so we get a calculated redepnds on /bin/sh base-files and base-passwd fall into this category of having post installs, but no need for /bin/sh on the target. If you know what you are installing, and want the smallest container possible, this package will satisfy the dependency when assembling the rootfs. To enable it, put the following in a configuration file (local.conf or otherwise): PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS_append = " container-dummy-provides" This image will detect if the dummy provides arch is set, and will automatically install the providing recipe, otherwise, busybox is installed. If you have a custom shell or want a different behaviour, the CONTAINER_SHELL variable can be overriden. Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@gmail.com>
2019-04-07container-base: Allow building with a specific kernel bindingJason Wessel
The oe-core layer sets a variable which intends that linux-dummy is set for container building. This commit would allow you to have a specific kernel and board setup as well as generate multiple containers by turrning off the linux-dummy check found in: oe-core/meta/classes/image-container.bbclass Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@gmail.com>
2019-02-27containers: introduce sample/reference container-base image typeBruce Ashfield
container-base is a sample/reference image type that uses the newly integrated image-oci image type to directly create OCI compatible images from a build. This image type can be inherited and extended to implement more complex container types, with modified image configurations. It is inspired by / based off the samples in the presentation done by Scott Murray (Building Container Images with OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project) at ELCe 2018.
