Adding ability to use postinstalls intercepts in the nativesdk env, and
making sure the correlate between repo + SDK.

This to enable rootfs generation from a package repository using only a
package repository and the toolchain tarball.

See https://github.com/nysan/rootfs-sandbox for examples.

Much better. Thanks.

Regarding the rootfs-sandbox, how are you intending to proper
integrate it with the toolchain?


Search the oe-core list for the previous discussions with Tom Zanussi.
I believe the long term goals is to redo rootfs_*.bbclass in python, and let
both bitbake and MIC(WIC) use
the same code for image creation.(SDK env + bitbake env.)

I'm fine with continued dev/inclusion of rootfs-sandbox, but I think that
might not be acceptable as a long term solution since
it may be maintenance heavy, since it uses alot of oe-core internal env.
vars.

Possible routes are:
1. Use common code for rootfs assembly. (WIC)
2. Cleanup env. var. usage in postinstall hooks, and be aggressive in
denying new additions. (Continue dev. on rootfs-sandbox)

Off-topic:
With above patches, I'm down to 1 postinstall failures for
packagegroup-core-lsb:
1. missing shlibsign, (nss), cant get the damn thing to compile for
nativesdk yet.

There are 2 other failures as well, but they fail when bitbake:ing as well.
Only works well with ipk sofar.

So I think we ought to work on this in a layer and put things in
OE-Core when it is ready.

What do you think?


Sorry, read your mail again, I think I misunderstood.
For rootfs-sandbox I agree, this is WIP.

I suspect that others already have these features, and regardless of WIC or rootfs-sandbox or other.
they will need the same functionality exposed in the SDK.
We are working on the same thing here, and as such, I think the small pieces needed to do this should be centralized in oe-core so we can cooperate around them, and define interfaces between the SDK and bitbake env in an open environment.

Br,
David
