Description Joshua Lock 2016-03-01 09:28:48 UTC 
swupd assumes Clear Linux as a host OS and hard-codes several paths to directories, programs and configuration files on Clear.

Create patches to make these paths configurable and submit them upstream.

Shouldn't this be a bug against swupd?
It's not clear to me if it intentionally assumes CL, but I think it shouldn't.

Yes, it should. IIRC there wasn't a public bug tracker at the time so this seemed a good place to keep track.

Upstream bug filed: https://github.com/clearlinux/swupd-client/issues/67
Comment 3 Joshua Lock 2016-05-16 10:16:13 UTC 
Patch submitted upstream:

Comment 4 Ross Burton 2017-07-05 10:52:41 UTC 
Waiting For Upstream status is being removed, changing to Accepted.
Comment 5 Patrick Ohly 2017-09-21 07:11:10 UTC 
This was partly addressed. Upstream is tracking the rest at https://github.com/clearlinux/swupd-client/issues/208
Comment 6 Richard Purdie 2018-10-11 15:23:34 UTC 
Upstream swupd has changed a lot and integration with the Yocto Project would be tricky and need rework to the layer. Closing this as obsolete since any new integration would need rework and have its own issues.
