2012-07-25initscripts: don't bg mk_dirs in populate-volatileChristopher Larson
If a directory needs to be created to create something else in volatiles, there's no guarantees on ordering due to the backgrounding. We can't guarantee with certainty that the create directory commands are complete before the later ones run. This ensures that we wait for directory creations to complete before we proceed. Chris Hallinan hit an actual failure due to this back in March of last year. Signed-off-by: Christopher Larson <chris_larson@mentor.com> Signed-off-by: Saul Wold <sgw@linux.intel.com>
2012-03-02initscripts: Create the volatiles cache atomically.James Limbouris
If a machine loses power while building the volatiles cache, it will continue to operate with an incomplete set of volatiles. Fix this by updating atomically. Signed-off-by: James Limbouris <james@digitalmatter.com.au> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
2010-08-27Major layout change to the packages directoryRichard Purdie
Having one monolithic packages directory makes it hard to find things and is generally overwhelming. This commit splits it into several logical sections roughly based on function, recipes.txt gives more information about the classifications used. The opportunity is also used to switch from "packages" to "recipes" as used in OpenEmbedded as the term "packages" can be confusing to people and has many different meanings. Not all recipes have been classified yet, this is just a first pass at separating things out. Some packages are moved to meta-extras as they're no longer actively used or maintained.
