Hi all, I was discussing the changes to preinit, mount_root, and and firstboot that I am working on, with Jo (xMff), specifically to ask where he thought I should put code that was common to the reworked mount_root and firstboot.
In that discussion we came to the conclusion that non-config files (i.e.g code that's integral to the system) really shouldn't be in /etc because backing up /etc, flashing and then restore /etc could potentially overwrite files that are required code in the system. Therefore I'm planning on putting my shared code under /lib/boot (and preinit functions (where order matters) under /lib/boot/preinit, and firstboot (likewise) under /lib/boot/firstboot). However there is a change that Jo and I thought would be a good idea, but which definitely requires discussion, and that is putting /etc/functions.sh under /lib/functions/functions.sh (or somesuch), with a symlink from /etc/function.sh. Also /lib/functions could be used for shared functions that are not used often enough to really belong in functions.sh, but make sense to be shared. In the same vein, though I didn't think of this until Jo when home, is to move /etc/preinit to /lib/boot/preinit.sh or somesuch. That would be a major change though since it's called as init by all the platforms. And not as necessary for squashfs or other readonly filesystems, when doing backup/restore of /etc. What do the rest of you think, of making the /lib move for a) functions.sh and b) preinit?
