However the code at meta/lib/oe/rootfs.py around line 243 always remove those utils if package-management is disabled. This should be either configurable, or not happening. I think it's a valid case that I want password management without package management. 56768 1 mariano.lopez 2015-11-25 02:34:38 +0000 It seems the original idea was to remove such utilities with a read-only rootfs. Since this functionality was embedded in image.bbclas it only checks for the package manager and not for a read-only rootfs. Old commits make reference that these packages must be removed for the read-only filesystem, for example: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2014-February/089116.html 56769 2 mariano.lopez 2015-11-25 02:39:21 +0000 The packages listed in there are not installed with every image, for example, core-image-minimal doesn't install shadow; it must be listed in IMAGE_INSTALL in order to be installed. 56770 3 mariano.lopez 2015-11-25 02:41:38 +0000 The logic to uninstall the packages should be changed from checking for a package manager to check for a read-only filesystem. 56774 4 dompe 2015-11-25 13:50:26 +0000 Agreed, the logic should check for read-only fs 56907 5 mariano.lopez 2015-12-01 18:06:37 +0000 Patch sent to the mailing list: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2015-November/113425.html 57225 6 mariano.lopez 2015-12-11 18:18:04 +0000 Waiting for integration in master, moving to 2.1 M2 57248 7 mariano.lopez 2015-12-14 14:14:11 +0000 This bug has been solved in commit: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=9c0186fd57fe6b8ed7b4de7645fdadfc2e5db149
