Hi Marcus,

image-bootfiles class copy files listed in IMAGE_BOOT_FILES
to the IMAGE_BOOT_FILES_DIR directory of the root filesystem.

This is useful when there is no explicit boot partition but all boot
files should instead reside inside the root filesystem.

Notes:
     v3:
             - Skip the intermediate bootfiles() function
             - Rename variable names to be consistent
             - Various python optimizations

Simply

inherit image-bootfiles

c.f. https://docs.yoctoproject.org/bitbake/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-metadata.html#inherit-directive

since you put this class into meta/classes/ and not meta/classes-recipes/, it could be included both with

INHERIT += "image-bootfiles"

and

inherit image-bootfiles

The former is to be included from configuration files (e.g. a distro, local.conf, machine conf file, etc.). The latter inside the image recipe directly.

I am wondering if we shouldn't make this a recipes-only bbclass? so moving it to meta/classes-recipes/? This means that we won't be able to use the INHERIT += "image-bootfiles" anymore but.... should we? On one side, we have something that only applies to images, on the other hand, it's probably something close to a policy, so rather part of a distro. So just wondering, not asking for a change :)

Cheers,
Quentin

+        image_dst = os.path.join(boot_dir, dst)
+        shutil.copyfile(image_src, image_dst)

This won't work if the parent directory of image_dst doesn't exist yet.

"""
>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.copyfile('plep', 'thisisatest/alsothis/test')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/shutil.py", line 262, in copyfile
    with open(dst, 'wb') as fdst:
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'thisisatest/alsothis/test'
"""

So I think we need to run:

os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(image_dst), exist_ok=True)

before calling shutil.copyfile?

In the bootimg-partition wic plugin, the following is done to install files:

install -m 0644 -D <src> <dst>

which creates all directories leading to <dst>. Additionally it makes it rw for owner, r for group and others. It seems that shutil.copyfile does this automatically (doesn't seem documented but it did this on a test in the python interpreter).

Quentin
