* packages: add ability for packages to create usersYann E. MORIN2013-04-251-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Packages that install daemons may need those daemons to run as a non-root, or an otherwise non-system (eg. 'daemon'), user. Add infrastructure for packages to create users, by declaring the FOO_USERS variable that contain a makedev-syntax-like description of the user(s) to add. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* fs/common.mk: Strip extra whitespace when device table is emptyEzequiel Garcia2013-03-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLES is a concatenation of two strings separated by spaces, there will always be a space in it, which means it's never empty. Therefore, when testing for empty, the condition never evaluate to false. The following change fixes this problem; it runs qstrip on the overall combination of the variables, causing the space to be removed if it's the only thing left.

* fs/common.mk: delay evaluation of variablesArnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)2013-01-201-22/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes things easier to understand and more consistent with the pkg-infra. For example, it removes the need for '$$@' in the CMD variables of fs/*/*.mk. It also makes it possible to update the variables later, e.g. in the package override file. It also makes sure that the date will be recorded correctly in Yann E. Morin's patch that logs the MESSAGE macros to a file. The fs/*/*.mk must be updated as well because the '$@' shouldn't be quoted anymore in the CMD variables or the hooks. The $(eval ...) for the dependencies is redundant, because the $(ROOTFS_TARGET) variable is already eval'd. Note that it is only redundant if the evaluation of the uses of the variable is also delayed.

* Warn the user about the usage of output/target as the root filesystemThomas Petazzoni2012-11-171-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A very common mistake done by our users is that they use output/target/ directory as their root filesystem. Even though this is loudly documented in our Buildroot manual, people don't read documentation, so it is not sufficient. This patch adds a text file named output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM which explains why output/target isn't appropriate to use as the root filesystem. The process is: * At the beginning of the build, right after the skeleton has been copied, support/misc/target-dir-warning.txt is copied to output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM * In the filesystem images creation code, this file is removed before launching fakeroot, and restored right after that, so that this file is not present in the generated root filesystem images. Note that the file has not been added to the default skeleton for two reasons: * It would have annoying to have in our source tree a file named in capital letters inside system/skeleton/ * The proposed way works even if the user uses a custom skeleton.

* Remove unused .fakeroot.* mechanismThomas Petazzoni2012-04-191-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There used to be a mechanism using which packages could leave a .fakeroot.<something> file which could contain commands to be executed within the fakeroot environment. Since this mechanism is no longer used by any package, remove it from the common infrastructure. The latest user was nfs-utils, which used this mechanism to do the "make install" as root, since doing otherwise was not supported. But since 16e7b8255c82815126a2c502c3787d442d254a86, nfs-utils has been upgraded and converted to the package infrastructure, and this hack is no longer necessary. Another past user was the ltp-testsuite package, for the same reason, and since a72a670489547a3ca645ff7c3a0d9c3fb66eab51, the fakeroot hack is no longer needed.

* Add support for package-declared devicesMaxime Ripard2012-02-011-0/+4

* System config: split static-dev device table setting into seperate optionPeter Korsgaard2011-07-251-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | As discussed here: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-May/043251.html Add BR2_ROOTFS_STATIC_DEVICE_TABLE for the extra device table file(s) to create device nodes in /dev, rather than complicated logic in BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE, making it complicated to move between static and dynamic modes.

* Allow several device tables and split in two parts our device tableThomas Petazzoni2011-05-091-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows to have a device table for all directories/files and another device table for the device files themselves. Both are needed for static /dev, but only the first one is needed when devtmpfs/mdev/udev are used. We take this opportunity to move the documentation of the device table format in a common location, package/makedevs/README.

* linux: add support for initramfsThomas Petazzoni2010-06-221-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In Buildroot, the kernel is built and installed *before* the root filesystems are built. This allows the root filesystem to correctly contain the kernel modules that have been installed. However, in the initramfs case, the root filesystem is part of the kernel. Therefore, the kernel should be built *after* the root filesystem (which, in the initramfs case simply builds a text file listing all files/directories/devices/symlinks that should be part of the initramfs). However, this isn't possible as the initramfs text file would lack all kernel modules. So, the solution choosen here is to keep the normal order: kernel is built before the root filesystem is generated, and to add a little quirk to retrigger a kernel compilation after the root filesystem generation. To do so, we add a ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_POST_TARGETS variable to the fs/common.mk infrastructure. This allows individual filesystems to set a target name that we should depend on *after* generating the root filesystem itself (contrary to normal ROOTFS_$(FSTYPE)_DEPENDENCIES, on which we depend *before* generating the root filesystem). The initramfs code in fs/initramfs/initramfs.mk uses this to add a dependency on 'linux26-rebuild-with-initramfs'. In linux/linux.mk, we do various things : * If BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS is enabled (i.e if initramfs is enabled as a root filesystem type), then we create an empty rootfs.initramfs file (remember that at this point, the root filesystem hasn't been generated) and we adjust the kernel configuration to include an initramfs. Of course, in the initial kernel build, this initramfs will be empty. * In the linux26-rebuild-with-initramfs target, we retrigger a compilation of the kernel image, after removing the initramfs in the kernel sources to make sure it gets properly rebuilt (we've experienced cases were modifying the rootfs.initramfs file wouldn't retrigger the generation of the initramfs at the kernel level). This is fairly quirky, but initramfs really is a special case, so in one way or another, we need a little quirk to solve its specialness.

* fs: change the way the device table is configuredThomas Petazzoni2010-04-171-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, the location of the device table was specified by a variable in board Makefiles. Unfortunately, this variable is not accessible from fs/common.mk, since the target/ code is included *after* fs/common.mk. Anyway, the general idea is to move away from these boards Makefile, and provide configuration option for things like the device table location. Therefore, this patch adds a BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE option which allows to specify which device table should be used. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
