From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Nigel Kukard Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2008 06:59:01 +0000 Subject: [Buildroot] initramfs doesn't need root to create an image Message-ID: <1206773941.3224.126.camel@nigel-x60> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net Attached a patch which removes the requirement on fakeroot & makedevs and prevents files from being created in /dev instead of devices when one builds buildroot as a non-priv user. Initramfs doesn't require a priv user to create the image. A perl script merges the devices.txt into the initramfs list, fixes the permissions, fixes ownership, orders directories to be created first and spits out a clean list. -N -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
