Hi all,
First off: this large patchset adds no change in the rootfs/image creation
functionality. The main logic is supposed to be the same as before. Also, I
decided not to spam the list with this large patchset (49 patches) and I sent
only the cover-letter. Those who want to take a peak at the code, can have a
look by clicking the link below.
If people would like the patches sent to the list too, just say so.
Ok, what's it all about then? Here are the main changes:
* all the old bash shell code (more then 90% of it anyway) has been ported to
Python. This would, hopefully, make the code more readable and allows us to
use some of the Python powerful features. The following new files were born,
together with a fair amount of changes in some bbclass'es:
> meta/lib/oe/manifest.py - implements the initial manifest creation (for now).
This is a file containing the list of packages going into the final image.
In theory, we should be able to use this file later to re-generate the
rootfs from a package feed, outside bitbake environment;
> meta/lib/oe/package_manager.py - implements the basic package management
API: install/remove packages, update index DB/index file creation. This
is mainly used by Rootfs/Sdk classes in order to generate the rootfs;
> meta/lib/oe/rootfs.py - contains code for rootfs generation;
> meta/lib/oe/image.py - the image creation part;
> meta/lib/oe/sdk.py - populate the SDK target/host rootfs.
With the new code, the entire do_rootfs routine in image.bbclass has now just
3 function calls: create_manifest(), create_rootfs(), create_image(). In this
order. Easier to debug just a certain part of the rootfs/image creation process.
* Some performance improvement has been obtained in 2 areas: index file creation
and image generation. These operations were serial in the old code. Now, they're
done in parallel.
* People complained about intercept scripts being hard to debug. That was because
the old code used a log checking routine that scanned the logs for some
standart error strings which were not necessarily errors. Hence, the intercepts
had their stderr redirected to /dev/null. This was now removed since we can
easily handle intercepts errors in python. So, errors will go to the log file.
That's about it. There is room for even further improvement, in the index creation
part. I had some code in place for that but I had to remove it, temporarily, due
to some synchronization issues. Hopefully, I'll find the issue and include that
piece back.
The code was tested on my machine and on a local AB for x86, x86-64, arm, ppc,
mips and build appliance. The builds and sanity tests finished successfully.
