This file should link to the real modules tarball. But now it links to an invalid file. For example, If I build a qemux86-64 image and check the modules-qemux86-64.tgz: ############ $ ls -l tmp/deploy/images/modules-* -rw-rw-r--. 2 build build 32903617 May 29 20:13 tmp/deploy/images/modules--3.8.11+git8482dcdf68_0+dd089cb5ba-r4.1-qemux86-64-20130529090849.tgz lrwxrwxrwx. 2 build build 81 May 29 20:13 tmp/deploy/images/modules-qemux86-64.tgz -> modules--3.8.11+git8482dcdf68_0+dd089cb5ba-r4.1-qemux86-64-20130529090849.tgz.bin ########### The symbolic link file links to an invalid file which has an extra ".bin" suffix. 33511 1 dvhart 2013-06-03 16:10:12 +0000 kernel.bbclass: MODULE_TARBALL_BASE_NAME ?= "${MODULE_IMAGE_BASE_NAME}.tgz" ...

There is a lot of .bin throughout the code, I suspect something rooted in the history of the class/project. If you change just this one line above to not use .bin, does it work correctly? 33534 2 yi.zhao 2013-06-04 08:10:58 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > kernel.bbclass: > > MODULE_TARBALL_BASE_NAME ?= "${MODULE_IMAGE_BASE_NAME}.tgz" > ... > MODULE_TARBALL_SYMLINK_NAME ?= "modules-${MACHINE}.tgz" > ... > kernel_do_deploy() { > install -m 0644 ${KERNEL_OUTPUT} ${DEPLOYDIR}/${KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME}.bin > if [ ${MODULE_TARBALL_DEPLOY} = "1" ] && (grep -q -i -e > '^CONFIG_MODULES=y$' .config); then > mkdir -p ${D}/lib > tar -cvzf ${DEPLOYDIR}/${MODULE_TARBALL_BASE_NAME} -C ${D} lib > ln -sf ${MODULE_TARBALL_BASE_NAME}.bin > ${DEPLOYDIR}/${MODULE_TARBALL_SYMLINK_NAME} > fi > > The .bin suffix is clearly added here, but I'm not sure why.

Yes, it works correctly. I think it is the right way to fix this issue. I will do more testing and send a patch later. 33720 3 yi.zhao 2013-06-09 09:01:09 +0000 Merge into master: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=dfd0985065c3447df169198e8cd518e007f630ff
