[yocto] Yocto Project community survey

[Jeff Osier-Mixon]

Hi Yoctoids - if you have a spare 2 minutes, we would really appreciate it
if you would fill out a short end-of-year survey for the project. This will
help us in learning more about the community and in working on future
directions for the project, plus you could win a Yocto t-shirt, just in
time for the holidays!

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/yoctosurvey

The survey runs until December 15.

thanks,

Re: [yocto] updating the mediatomb example from meta-demo

I have a project where I want mediatomb running on my routerstationpro and / or

I am attempting to update the meta-demo layer from git that was working with 
yocto 1.0 but has not been updated much since.

I am very new at this and so far google has showed me how to fix the first two 
broken recipes but now I am stuck.  I'm fine with a RTFM answer if you will 
just point me to the right manual.

I got all the way to the next to the last task and it cratered on building the 
rootfs.  Snippet of error message with context:

NOTE: package demo-image-mediatomb-1.0-r2: task do_rootfs: Started
ERROR: Function 'do_rootfs' failed (see 
/opt/yocto/yocto_beagleboard/tmp/work/beagleboard-poky-linux-gnueabi/demo-image-mediatomb-1.0-r2/temp/log.do_rootfs.17440
 for further information)

skip a bunch of text of stuff working right

Any help appreciated.

Made some progress.  Maybe a yocto expert can point me in the right direction.

The recipe demo-image-mediatomb.bb generates the error message above.  But if 
I comment out the ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += setup_target_image ;  line, 
it will finish.  Below is the offending function that allows the build to 
finish when commented out.

ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += setup_target_image ; 

setup_target_image() {
# Manual workaround for lack of auto eth0 (see bug #875)  static IP 
for demo
install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/interfaces 
${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/etc/network/interfaces

# Set up mount of /media/storage NFS share
install -d ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/media/storage
install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/fstab ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/etc/fstab

# Configure mediatomb to autoscan /media/storage
install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/config.xml 
${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/etc/mediatomb/config.xml
}

I am guessing that maybe the syntax used in this script is outdated?  It looks 
like it is just trying to create a couple of folders and files in the rootfs.  

So maybe a better question is how do I use yocto to create a particular 
directory structure on my target?

Thanks,
