Subject: systemd-serial-getty obsolete?
Date: Wed, 09 Mar 2016 11:01:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457517718.9847.28.camel@intel.com> (raw)
Hello!
systemd-serialgetty.bb was introduced in OE-core together with systemd
1.96 and probably goes back even further (copied from meta-systemd). It
explicitly instantiates serial-getty@.service for serial ports specified
by SERIAL_CONSOLES.
I'm wondering whether that is still needed. systemd also has a generator
[1] that can activate serial-getty based on kernel boot parameters [2].
Is systemd-serialgetty.bb perhaps kept around because the "console"
parameters added to APPEND are (perhaps intentionally) not the same as
SERIAL_CONSOLES?
