[meta-raspberrypi][PATCH 1/3] linux: Add a Linux 3.6 kernel recipe

[meta-raspberrypi][PATCH 1/3] linux: Add a Linux 3.6 kernel recipe

[Jan Schmidt]

* Add a recipe to build the linux kernel from the rpi-3.6.y branch at
  https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux
* Since this has a higher version, it will be the preferred linux kernel
  by default.

[meta-raspberrypi][PATCH 3/3] sdcard-image: Use the size of the generated rootfs

[Jan Schmidt]

When constructing the SD card image, the code was using
the inherited ROOTFS_SIZE, which is the size of the
rootfs contents. When building (for example) a compressed
rootfs, this allocates a partition much larger than necessary.

Instead, take the size of the generated rootfs file that is
about to be written into the generated image.

This is a good idea but you will have to align the new ROOTFS_SIZE
to IMAGE_ROOTFS_ALIGNMENT.

So you are actually removing IMAGE_ROOTFS_ALIGNMENT space at the end of the
sd image. Why are you doing this? Nothing stated in the comment.

Sorry, yeah - I forgot to mention it. I removed it because it's
pointless. It's not actually aligning to anything (it doesn't calculate
an alignment based on the difference between the ROOTFS_SIZE and some
target multiple). Instead, it was just arbitrarily padding some
megabytes onto the end of the image file.

Makes sense. I added that because we had a strange bug where the final
sdimg file size was not enough. Maybe this was fixed now - something
related to parted. Please add your comment and modify the asci partition
layout in the bbclass file too.

Thanks,
Andrei

It may have been the use of the inherited ROOTFS_SIZE, which will be
slightly smaller than the ext3 fs produced, because it measure the size
of the contents of the fs.

I'll re-send the patch.
