[Buildroot] genimage maintainers

Hi,

This post may not be related to Buildroot but rather to genimage, but I've
not been able to find any maintainer for genimage, so I'm posting here since
I found an issue with genimage when using Buildroot.

My problem is that there seem to be a bug in genimage making it impossible
to have a mountpoint specified like this:

image dummy.ext4 {
  ext4 {}
  mountpoint = "/mnt/subdirectory"
  size = 128M
}

however this works fine:

image dummy.ext4 {
  ext4 {}
  mountpoint = "/mnt"
  size = 128M
}

When looking at the code it looks like genimage cannot handle mountpoints
that is not a directory directly under /

I've made a patch for it, but I don't know where to send it, or make a
pull-request. Further, I'm not that familiar with genimage, so it would be
good if someone with more insight in genimage could take a look at it.

Can anyone point me to someone that might be the "receiver" of such a patch?

Hi,

Yes you're right, that seems to be the place for this issue. Sorry for
cluttering the Buildroot mailing list with this issue.
(I did look at github, but I only found an outdated repo with genimage that
was not updated since before latest release. Evidently I did not search
enough)

haven't you tried to just look for it? It seems like it's developed on
github, and an issue with the problem you describe is already open there:
https://github.com/vivien/genimage/issues/2

I guess that would be the place this should go. Tell them it's a simple
and important issue to you, make a pull request and they will help you.

Actually the real upstream is
https://git.pengutronix.de/cgit/genimage/log/.

Sorry, I have never used this mountpoint option (and it isn't directly
clear to me what it does), but the upstream git repo for genimage is at:

git://git.pengutronix.de/git/genimage.git

And looking at the git history, the most active developers looks to be:

git shortlog -sne | head -n 3
    84  Michael Olbrich <m.olbrich@pengutronix.de>
    15  Juergen Beisert <jbe@pengutronix.de>
    15  Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>

So perhaps mailing them is the best way forward.
