Re: [OE-core] [PATCH v6] systemd: Build the systemctl executable

[Vyacheslav Yurkov <uvv.mail@gmail.com>]

From meta/classes-recipe/rootfs-postcommands.bbclass:

     # 20:12 < mezcalero> koen: you have three options: a) run 
systemd-machine-id-setup at install time, b) have / read-only and an 
empty file there (for stateless) and c) boot with / writable
         touch ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}${sysconfdir}/machine-id
     fi

We could think of further improvements. One thing that comes to mind is 
changing systemd-systemctl-native to systemd-tools-native and enable the 
build of systemd-machine-id-setup.
