/var/log/dmesg: should it not be created?

[Hans Beckérus]

Hi. I can see that in ./recipes-core/initscripts/initscripts_1.0.bb,
the dmesg.sh script is installed in /etc/init.d. But I can not see
that it is being added to any run-levels, not even single-user mode.
Is there some reason for only installing the init script but not
actually activating it? Not that I really need it, but some
clarification to why it works as it does would be appreciated :)

Thanks.
Hans

No one? I think it is obvious that initscripts_1.0.bb is missing
adding dmesg.sh to any run-level.
But I do not wish to take this further unless I understand why it was
left out; deliberately or by mistake.

I think it was left out by mistake. It should be added to runlevel S.
Could you please make a patch to fix it? And please send the patch to 
the oe-core mailing list (openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org).
