But there are no dependencies among them. (Of course there should not be.) So, a seperation of rcS-default from sysvinit is necessary for initscripts and busybox to work correctly. 28726 1 dvhart 2013-01-10 15:50:12 +0000 poky-tiny intentionally does not support system v init. I think the question we need to ask here is why is hwclock.sh getting installed in poky-tiny. 28743 2 Qi.Chen 2013-01-11 02:16:35 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > poky-tiny intentionally does not support system v init. I think the question > we need to ask here is why is hwclock.sh getting installed in poky-tiny. hwclock.sh is provided by busybox. The above error was encountered when I was exploring poky-tiny. After I looked into it a little bit, I found it was actually a dependency issue. As stated above, there are no dependencies among sysvinit, initscripts and busybox. But initscripts and busybox both need /etc/default/rcS which is currently provided by sysvinit. As I think there shouldn't be any dependencies between these scripts (because the init system can be replaced, and in this case, by tiny-init), I'd like to seperate rcS-default from sysvinit and let initscripts and busybox depend on it. What do you think about it? 28776 3 dvhart 2013-01-11 16:38:00 +0000 Interesting. Have you determined why hwclock.sh needs /etc/default/rcS? That might need to be established first. Are the initscripts useful without sysvinit? Saul, what are your thoughts on the interdependence of these packages? 29225 4 Qi.Chen 2013-01-28 04:52:52 +0000 Now that initscripts will not be built unless the init manager is sysvinit. I think we could just fix the hwclock.sh script by checking the existence of /etc/default/rcS before souring it. 29905 5 Qi.Chen 2013-02-18 07:39:12 +0000 It seems more reasonable to just check the existence of /etc/default/rcS before sourcing it. 30059 6 Qi.Chen 2013-02-25 03:26:50 +0000 merged into poky/master: b1c887277c67a9a0fb08162edc4cc9aeeb8f400d http://git.openembedded.org/?p=openembedded-core.git&a=commit;h=416519ec595f59ebeafb95bed2546635cad41559 30314 7 yi.zhao 2013-03-01 09:49:42 +0000 Verified with master branch: 0bedc0b80d9b46cbbf4a2c5e120a6aa52cbc7c2e Run "/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh restart" , there is no such error.
