Support read-only rootfs by providing a specific conf file for

I prefer this solution than the previous one however why you don't use
a sato-volatile-conf package to provide this?
Because the there exists a one-to-one (or almost one-to-one)
correspondence
between the volatile conf file and the specific image.
If there is a 'sato-volatile-conf' package, then there should be a
'minimal-volatile-conf', and maybe a 'custom-volatile-conf' if users are
using a customized image.
So I think it's simpler to let the image recipe provide the conf file.
The only thing we have to do, when adding read-only rootfs support to
some
image, is to add the conf file to SRC_URI and install it in
choose_volatile_conf.
The problem of not using a package for it is regarding upgrades; it is
not possible to upgrade the configuration file using the package
manager. I know most systems using the read-only-fs will be small and
do not use a package manager at all but some use cases will do (mine,
in case).
Sounds reasonable.
I'll think about it :)
+1 for creating a *-volatile-conf package instead of having it buried in
the image recipe.
Sau!
Thanks,

So I do believe we ought to have a one-to-one correspondence here.
