Augmenting base files

Augmenting base files

[Gary Thomas]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1863 bytes --]

I'd like to add some additional files to my build.  These are
simple scripts, etc, and it makes sense to include them as part
of the base-files package for my platform.

I tried to use the attached .bbappend file for this.  Sadly, after
the package fetch/unpack/patch, it has virtually nothing in it
and the build fails miserably.
   ERROR: Function 'base-files: LIC_FILES_CHKSUM points to invalid file: licenses/GPL-2' failed

Looking at the work tree:
   $ ls tmp/work/mytarget-mydistro-linux/base-files-3.0.14-r69.1/
   license-destdir  my_script  temp

Without the .bbappend, I see this in the work tree:
   $ ls tmp/work/mytarget-mydistro-linux/base-files-3.0.14-r69
   deploy-ipks  host.conf  issue            licenses       package         profile   share   temp
   filesystems  image      issue.net        motd           packages-split  pseudo    shells  usbd
   fstab        inputrc    license-destdir  nsswitch.conf  pkgdata         rotation  shlibs

Note: I put my script in
   my-layer/packages/misc/base-files-3.0.14/mytarget/my_script

If I replace this line in the .bbappend
   FILESEXTRAPATHS := "${THISDIR}/${PN}-${PV}"
with these (the way I was told to do this when .bbappend first came available):
   THISDIR := "${@os.path.dirname(bb.data.getVar('FILE', d, True))}"
   FILESPATH =. "${@base_set_filespath(["${THISDIR}/${PN}-${PV}/${MACHINE}"], d)}:"
then the recipe works.

Obviously, I've done something major to upset things and/or I don't understand
FILESEXTRAPATHS which I think should just add to the current list of places to
satisfy SRC_URI.

Ideas what I've done wrong?

Sorry, this doesn't seem to be true - it still has problems either way.

The only way I've been able to get this to work at all is by changing SRC_URI
   SRC_URI += "\
       file://my_script \
   "
No other form seems to work.

A follow up problem is that my script gets installed, but doesn't seem to be
packaged.   I get a warning:
   WARNING: For recipe base-files, the following files were installed but not shipped in any package:
   WARNING:   my_script
I thought that this line in the main recipe should include my file:
   FILES_${PN} = "/"
How do I get my script to be included?

Note: this is becoming such a pain, I'll probably just write a special recipe
for it even though I think it makes sense to do it like I've been attempting...

If it's simply your script, then you could try

FILES_${PN} += "my_script"

It does make sense, not sure what's going on, but you could file a bug

Sorry, but that doesn't help.  The resulting image is very confusing:
   $ ls tmp/work/mytarget-mydistro-linux/base-files-3.0.14-r69.1/image/
   my_script
which doesn't match up at all where my recipe said to put it.
