[Question] IMAGE_FSTYPES has no effect on master

[Question] IMAGE_FSTYPES has no effect on master

[Amin Bandali]

Hello,

Up until krogoth, I could adjust IMAGE_FSTYPES in my local.conf to generate
various types of archives:

    IMAGE_FSTYPES += "tar.bz2 tar.gz"

However, I've noticed that this has no effect on master, and only wic.gz
archives are generated.

The only relevant piece of information I came across was the following commit:

https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale-3rdparty/commit/038b0b737f55ebd2cbc29c91c8274fed422142d4

Any thoughts on how I could generate other image types on master, like I used to
on krogoth?

(I need a tar.gz or tar.bz2 so that I can un-tar them with sudo so that all the
files and directories have correct permissions. Because the files and folders
generated by bitbake in this directory
{YOCTO_BUILD_DIR}/tmp/work/wandboard-poky-linux-gnueabi/{IMAGE}/1.0-r0/rootfs
are owned by a regular user and when booting over NFS, those permissions cause
trouble.)

Thanks,
Amin

Please, try to change the code on
https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale-3rdparty/blob/master/conf/machine/wandboard.conf#L49

Instead of
IMAGE_FSTYPES = "wic.gz"

use

IMAGE_FSTYPES ?= "wic.gz"


Keep IMAGE_FSTYPES += "tar.bz2 tar.gz" in your local.conf, give it a
try and let us know.

Hello Daiane,

Thanks for the reply, that indeed worked! It'd be nice to have this
change merged upstream.

Great!

Can you, please, prepare the patch and send it to review?
