possible fix v.2
Attached slightly modified patch.
Hi Ed, This patch does seem to work I've just tested this patch. I have built two images in a row and the source file of the rawcopy remains in my DEPLOY_IMAGE_DIR. Regards, Joshua Hi Joshua, Thank you for testing the patch! I've just sent it for review: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2015-December/114602.html The fix has been merged to master: http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=33c52b1f2d39feb641465bf42e8b16d0ab22a316 |
After switching to using wic (and the image_types.bbclass function IMAGE_CMD_wic) I noticed that the source file I pass to the rawcopy plugin keeps going missing after the image is constructed. This is because: - if 'skip' isn't in the source parameters the partition source_file is set to the 'file' parameter in rawcopy.py's do_prepare_partition() method - during the assemble() method of partitionedfs.py each partition source is renamed to ${OUTDIR}/${IMAGE_FILENAME}.p${PART_NUM} after it has been installed into the image - after the image is assembled and copied to the deploy directory the IMAGE_CMD_wic removes the wic output directory, deleting all of the partition sources The end result here is that a source passed to the rawcopy plugin is moved (pretty bad) and possibly deleted (very bad) depending on how wic is used.
