MORIN's message of "Mon, 3 Jun 2013 22:15:49 +0200") References: Message-ID: <87a9n6hpfd.fsf@dell.be.48ers.dk> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net >>>>> "Yann" == Yann E MORIN writes: Yann> From: "Yann E. MORIN" Yann> genext2fs is built only if the user selected an ext2 root filesystem. Yann> However, some use-cases can't live with the full target/ dir on the Yann> root filesystem, and requires separate partitions (eg. for /usr). Yann> In this case, the user would not select an ext2 root fs in the Yann> Buildrooot menu, and would only generate a tarball of the rootfs. Yann> This tarball would then be used from a post-image script to build Yann> the actual required FSes. Yann> But then, genext2fs is not built, since the ext2 root FS was not Yann> selected. Yann> As for the other filesystem generators, provide a host variant of Yann> genext2fs (genext2fs is already host-package aware, so only needs Yann> adding a Kconfig entry). Committed, thanks. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
