documenting some stuff about core images and a few quick questions.
first, in core-image.bbclass:
# By default we install packagegroup-core-boot and packagegroup-base packages - this gives us
# working (console only) rootfs.
actually, not quite true:
CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL = '\
packagegroup-core-boot \
packagegroup-base-extended \ <------
so that comment just needs to be fixed, i can take care of that.
next, i've always cringed at this bit of code:
CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL = '\
packagegroup-core-boot \
packagegroup-base-extended \
\
${CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL} \
'
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL ?= ""
IMAGE_INSTALL ?= "${CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL}"
could that not just be written as:
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL ?= ""
CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL = '\
packagegroup-core-boot \
packagegroup-base-extended \
'
IMAGE_INSTALL ?= "${CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL}" ${CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL}
which strikes me as much clearer. are those two snippets of code
equivalent?
i think that's it.
