Subject: Including the kernel in the image
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 15:48:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1808929.8Oa6VYabAJ@helios> (raw)
Hi all,
For some boot configurations (e.g. kexecboot) having the kernel binary in the
image is required. In OE Classic, task-boot used to always include the kernel
binary in the image (via RRECOMMENDS, so it could be uninstalled). We don't
currently have this in OE-Core and I was wondering what the new preferred way
to have this done would be.
Obviously we could go and add it to various images or even to task-core-boot
again but I'm not sure that's ideal. Wanting the kernel in the image is really
machine-specific (or to be precise, boot method specific); so I'm wondering if
adding it to MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS for all machines likely to
need it is the right thing to do?
Cheers,
Paul
