File in append recipe not installed

File in append recipe not installed

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1141 bytes --]

Hello

I'd like to add an append recipe for base-files in order to install a custom fstab.

In my system I already have this base-files recipes:

    layers/openembedded-core-1.4/meta/recipes-core/base-files/base-files_3.0.14.bb
    layers/meta-montavista-1.4/recipes-core/base-files/base-files_3.0.14.bbappend

So I in my layer I have:

layers/meta-mylayer/recipes/base-files
├── base-files_3.0.14.bbappend
└── files
    └── fstab

and I add this base-files_3.0.14.bbappend content:

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}-${PV}:"

SRC_URI_append = "file://fstab"

do_install_append() {
        echo "======= ${PN}-${PV} INSTALLING fstab ========"
        install -m 644 ${WORKDIR}/fstab ${D}${sysconfdir}
}

but no matter how I put FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend or how I name my bbappend when I build the recipe with bitbake base-files it never gets called and my fstab file is not installed.
If the original recipe is base-files_3.0.14.bb, why append is base-files_3.0.14.bbappend instead of base-files_3.bbappend only? How should i name and put FILESEXTRAPATHS

Instead of putting your fstab in 'files', put it in a directory
called 'base-files-3.0.14' which is where your FILESEXTRAPATHS
is looking.

Instead of putting your fstab in 'files', put it in a directory
called 'base-files-3.0.14' which is where your FILESEXTRAPATHS
is looking.

Please don't top-post :-(

How do you know that your bbappend isn't being used/called?  If you name it
incorrectly, e.g. base-files_3.0.99.bbappend, you should get an error telling
you that there is no base-files_3.0.99.bb which matches.  Hence if it's named
base-files_3.0.14.bbappend and you get no error, it *is* being used.

Please show exactly what is now in your layer (as below).  It's really easy
to make a mistake with a '_' instead of '-'.

File in append recipe not installed

[p_j_r_m]

Thanks Gary.
I think is not called because I have echo lines in do_install_append() and they don't appear when bitbake -v is used after the recipe is cleaned and rebuilt.

This is my layer:

releases/meta-mylayer
├── conf
│  └── layer.conf
├── README

Also, one way to tell for sure whether it is being parsed is to use:

  bitbake-layers show-appends 

If it's not listed there, check that the layer shows up in:

  bitbake-layers show-layers

If the layer doesn't show there, check if it has been correctly added to 
bblayers.conf. If it is, check that your layer.conf is setting BBFILES such 
that bbappends in the directory you placed the bbappend in will be picked up.

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks for your suggestionsThe problem was that my recipe files were taken from sstate directories, even when they were previously cleaned with bitbake -c clean. If I use -c cleansstate instead, all is ok .

AFAIK the task signatures will incorporate the values of all of the things 
your bbappend is setting, so this doesn't really account for the behaviour you 
are describing. Can you reproduce the issue?
