Trying out on master, I get a do_rootfs error because bash is not
a rundep of alsa-utils, and there is nothing in the alsa-utils
recipe that actually does the above mentioned removal of the
alsaconf script. Looking in the git log, I only see that the
comment has suddenly appeared in an older alsa-utils recipe and
has been carried along since with every update to the recipe, and
not left over there as an artifact of some older commit as I expected.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
From some quick git log -S commands in the old openembedded classic
repository, it seems to have originated
with 7653e980f66b4bd147df308f9b04d6b197382d6a from 2005, and the line
below the comment was 'FILES_${PN} = ""', so presumably that was what
left it out — none of the files patterns matched it.
Okay, so it seems that the comment actually said at that time that the
alsa-utils generated rpm won't contain alsaconf. And bellow, this bash
script gets into the alsa-utils-alsaconf rpm. Unfortunately, even though
there is this separation, the alsa-utils rpm depends on the
alsa-utils-alsaconf rpm so it's pretty much the same thing as do_rootfs
is concerned. (missing bash dependency). How would you guys see this
resolved upstream? Add bash as a dep, remove alsa-utils-alsaconf as a
dep or alsa-utils (as the comment says the script is not suitable for
OE-based distros) or check the alsaconf script for bashisms and fix if
any and make alsa-utils rely on a busybox shell interpreter if possible
(with the modification of the !/bin/bash shabang from the alsaconf
script to /bin/sh)?
