system: sysvinit needs MMU

2016-08-14T14:11:46+00:00

It uses spawn() and thus fork(), so it needs an MMU. Fixes a build issue reported on IRC for a cortex-m4 build: http://pastebin.com/dGCsy0sr Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

system: zoneinfo usable by musl, too

2016-08-09T20:50:21+00:00

Currently, we limit installing zoneinfo to non-musl toolchain, by lack of knowledge on how it would work on musl. Turns out that musl uses the same zoneinfo format as glibc does. Make it possible to install the TZ info whatever the C library; for musl, use tzdata as for glibc. Thanks Rich! ;-) Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

system: move locale purging options to the "System configuration" menu

2016-08-03T19:17:21+00:00

The options to purge locales and to generate locale data are currently located in the toolchain menu. However, these options are not really related to the toolchain per-se, they are more system-level configuration options, much like the timezone selection option we already have in the "System configuration" menu. Therefore, it makes more sense to have the locale-related options in the "System configuration" menu as well. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

system: do not set hostname and issue for custom skeleton

2016-07-18T21:45:49+00:00

We expect the custom skeleton to be fully filled with the necessary files, now. There is definitely no reason we should handle setting the hostname and the issue file in there. A user using a custom skeleton should be fully responsible for providing a functional skeleton. Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Reviewed-by: Romain Naour Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

system: do not handle network settings for custom skeleton

system: move the rootfs skeleton choice

2016-07-18T21:45:29+00:00

In the following commits, we'll be switching more options to be conditional on the default or custom skeleton. So, it makes sense that those options come after the choice of a skeleton. Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Reviewed-by: Romain Naour Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

system: provide no default for custom skeleton path

2016-07-18T21:40:06+00:00

Being custom means that our default one is not suitable to start with. So there is no reason to offer it as the default path. Add a check that it is not empty. Add a separating empty line, for good measure, too. Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Cc: Romain Naour Cc: Arnout Vandecappelle Reviewed-by: Romain Naour Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

system: systemd only really supports a R/W rootfs

2016-07-05T13:29:28+00:00

Supporting a R/O rootfs needs a bit more love to be fully operational. This will come in later patches... Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Reviewed-by: Romain Naour Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

fs/common: add option to execute custom scripts under fakeroot

2016-07-03T18:58:46+00:00

Some users have the need to be able to tweak the content of the target rootfs with root-like rights, that is, from inside the fakeroot script. Add a new system option to allow those users to provide a list of scripts, like the post-build and post-image scripts, that will be run from our fakeroot script.

makedevs: add capability support

2016-06-30T10:13:38+00:00

Add the support of capability to makedevs as extended attribute. Now, it's possible to add a line "|xattr " after a file description to also add a capability to this file. It's possible to add severals capabilities with severals lines.
