Hi All ,
I am trying to get an basic yocto build for qemuarm.
But the build is struck at message INITIALIZING TASK : 44%

I tried with some other machine name , removing the cache folder etc but
the behaviour remians same .

Any pointers to debug will be helpful .

Thanks ,
Ashish

check ps output and see whats executing at this point. I wonder if its
stuck parsing some git recipe with autorev or something like that.

If you are using an upstream hash equivalence server it will deadlock if
you have a clean cache dir.

Warning: empty_var_volatile doesn't exist

[Steve]

Hello,

I would like to remove /etc/timestamp from my rootfs.
I found it is set by "rootfs_update_timestamp" as part of
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND.

I did in my image recipe the following:
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND_remove = "rootfs_update_timestamp ; "

That seems to work, no /etc/timestamp in image.
But I get the warning from do_rootfs:
"Function write_image_test_data  empty_var_volatile doesn't exist"

Did I do something wrong? I am not feeling well to ignore warnings,
especially as I am a beginner here.

Maybe allow me a second question:
I need a part of utils-linux, but won't include all the files (due to
space limitations).
I guess I need some utils-linux_%.bbappend - but what has to be in there?

Thanks, Arno (in Yocto 3.0 atm)

That should be:

ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND_remove = "rootfs_update_timestamp;"

The _remove operator will remove each word specified from the original 
variable. So in your case it would remove all "rootfs_update_timestamp" 
and all ";", which is not what you want.

It isn't as easy as in original is like (watch the blanks)
" ... ; rootfs_update_timestamp ; >next..."

So if I do:
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND_remove = "rootfs_update_timestamp;"
it is not removed
and if I do
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND_remove = "rootfs_update_timestamp"
I got errors because of "; ;"

So my guess is, the original recipe with this blanks is not correct.
But how to workaround?

It was corrected in 3.2.

I believe it should work to do:

ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND_remove = "rootfs_update_timestamp"

That will leave "... ; ; ..." in ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND, but I think 
that should be ok.

Don't consider my last message, it is only true on the master branch and if
we can't connect the hash equivalence server.
