It merely adds a define through the meson build system but the code doesn't actually uses it. Preconditions/Environment ------------------------- systemd in DISTRO_FEATURES Triggering Action/Cause ----------------------- Various, basically ROOT_HOME (defined in bitbake.conf) no longer makes it into systemd's binaries. Expectation ----------- Systemd should use "/home/root" (or the value of ROOT_HOME) instead of "/root" Actual Result ------------- "/root" is hard-coded for root's home dir. Reproducibility --------------- 1/1 Refer to thread: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/poky/2019-January/011614.html 82800 1 akuster 2019-01-15 15:53:31 +0000 do we see this in Master? 82801 2 ross.burton 2019-01-15 15:56:41 +0000 Yes 94146 3 ross.burton 2022-10-13 14:48:40 +0000 This patch was dropped in dunfell.
