Hi, See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-tasks-populate_sysroot for the updated explanation of do_populate_sysroot. Also, I noticed that the staging class description (http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-classes-staging) really doesn't say much about it. Do you have any suggestions for this class? Thanks, Scott Looks good - thanks! Maybe staging.bbclass could be rephrased like this, though I don't think it's that bad as is: "The staging class provides the do_populate_sysroot task, which stages files into the sysroot to make them available to other recipes at build time." With that wording it's clearer that do_populate_sysroot is from staging.bbclass. Thanks, Your wording is fine. I updated the section. See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-classes-staging. Scott Closing this one out. |
