Re: [yocto] Correct way for multiple recipes to install files in the same directory
As I have no prior experience with classes I'll have to read through the manual to learn and I'll have that in mind, cheers.

Re: [yocto] Correct way for multiple recipes to install files in the same directory
I found a solution and I'll try to break it down. There was the original
problem with the conflict between the recipes and then there were the problem
with the recipe not being aware of the existence of the user polkitd.
The solution for the first problem was to make sure that the permissions and
ownership set by my recipe 2 matches the one in recipe 1 exactly, hence:
>

> Changing in recipe 2 from
> chown -R user1:user1 ${D}/home/user1/.config/
> to
> chown -R user1:user1 ${D}/home/user1/
> actually seems to solve the problem with those particular recipes.
The solution to the second problem (disk-automount recipe bitbake error because
user polkitd is invalid) was to copy the creation of the user polkitd from the
original polkit recipe into my recipe:
inherit useradd
USERADD_PACKAGES = "${PN}"
USERADD_PARAM:${PN} = "--system --no-create-home --user-group --home-dir
${sysconfdir}/${BPN}-1 --shell /bin/nologin polkitd"
and then make sure that my disk-automount recipe matches the permissions and
ownerships set up by the polkit recipe as well:
do_install:append() {
#Fix up permissions on polkit rules.d to work with rpm4 constraints
chmod 700 ${D}/${datadir}/polkit-1/rules.d
chmod 700 ${D}/${sysconfdir}/polkit-1/rules.d
chown polkitd:root ${D}/${datadir}/polkit-1/rules.d
chown polkitd:root ${D}/${sysconfdir}/polkit-1/rules.d
}
This is working but I can see some issues with copying code from one recipe to
another. If the original recipe changes, I will need to manually update every
one of my own recipes with the corresponding changes, which doesn't scale very
well. Having this in mind I think that Markus Volk's post might be a nicer way
to do things so I think I will consider his way of doing it in the future. I
haven't worked with the classes yet but I can see how they can be used to make
things a lot easier in my case.
Big thanks and great appreciation to everyone who came up with suggestions,
they eventually led me towards a solution! :)
