upstart init manager

upstart init manager

[Andrea Di Chiara]

Hi,
I'm building my own distribution using Yocto Project and I'm trying to 
setup Upstart as init manager. In my local.conf I have added these lines:

DISTRO_FEATURES_append = “ upstart”
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = “upstart”

but no recipe seems to exist. Am I wrong? I have searched through 
openembedded layers but I found only a recipe for WebOS distribution. Is 
it possible to use it with Yocto Dora or Yocto Daisy? There is another 
recipe?

thank you for the attention,
best regards,
Andrea

Andrea,

I would totally suggest you to use systemd which it does as the same as
upstart but it has more features and it is a lot faster.

However, if you really want to use it, you should verify if you have a
recipe for upstart on your yocto.

If not, you could create it, or search if there is one created. I think
you will find it on meta-freescale or something like this.

Regards,

meta-webos is compatible only with Dylan release, but you should be able
to copy upstart + libnih from there to your layer and use them.

You can also check couple bbappends in meta-webos which add upstart init
scripts to various components (to replace sysvinit scripts).
