Re: systemd services in the rootfs

[Florin Sarbu <florin.sarbu@windriver.com>]

The issue I was referring to was that the individual packages (that 
contain the systemd service files) generated from various recipes, do 
not end up in the rootfs solely by having them declared in the 
SYSTEMD_PACKAGES and having DISTRO_FEATURES_INITMAN ="systemd". You need 
now to explicitly add these ${PN}-systemd (or whatever name you choose 
for the packages that will hold the systemd services) in some 
packagegroups or image recipes to have them in the rootfs. It is not a 
question of where to have them in the rootfs, but rather to have them 
added in the do_rootfs stage.

Hope I cleared things up a little better now.

Thanks,
Florin
