[yocto] Removing hostapd init file

[Kristupas Savickas]

Greetings,

I'm trying to remove the hostapd init file as I'll handle startup of it
on my own. I've created a .bbappend file in my layer to do this:

do_install_append() {
    rm -rf ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d
}

However, this results in a compilation warning when building my image
and the ipk-postinst is still being run on my target:

WARNING: tlt-image-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: hostapd.postinst returned 1,
marking as unpacked only, configuration required on target.
WARNING: tlt-image-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Intentionally failing
postinstall scriptlets of ['hostapd'] to defer them to first boot is
deprecated. Please place them into pkg_postinst_ontarget_${PN} ().
If deferring to first boot wasn't the intent, then scriptlet failure
may mean an issue in the recipe, or a regression elsewhere.
Details of the failure are in
/home/kristupas/projects/fml-linux-sdk-qtel/oe-core/build/tmp-glibc/work/fml001-oe-linux-gnueabi/tlt-image/1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs.

warning message in the logfile:

I tried setting INITSCRIPT_NAME to "" in my .bbappend, but it fails with
an error during do_rootfs task of my image:

I guess the problem is that the recipe inherits update-rc.d class and
that class wants to work with the init script. Unfortunately
uninheriting a class in a bbappend is not possible AFAIK. I am not
familiar with the details of the class whether there is a way to tell it
to do nothing.

What about

do_install_append() {
(echo "#!/bin/sh" ; echo true) > ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d/hostapd
}


Just guessing. Untested and I have not worked with sysv init for
years... Maybe update-rc.d requires the typcial comment section at the
beginning. If so you just add it.

Or actually if update-rc.d refers to the comment section in the
beginning of the script you could add a patch that changes the
Default-Start: value to empty (or some runlevel you do not use).

We override INITSCRIPT_PARAMS in a bbappend like so:

INITSCRIPT_PARAMS = "stop 20 0 1 0 ."

Seems to work OK.

Hi,

I have tried schemes like these and found that although they appear to work during rootfs generation, it can result in RPM transaction failures if you try to perform in-place upgrades using RPMs. The post install scriptlets can fail as they attempt to run the update-rc.d command, passing bad (or missing) parms.

Fortunately for this particular case there is a hook variable that is used to leep sysvinit out of the way when using system (or other alternative). I fixed it by adding the following to my bbappend


INHIBIT_UPDATERCD_BBCLASS = “1”

Darcy
