[PATCH 0/3] re-fork wic pcbios plugin

[PATCH 0/3] re-fork wic pcbios plugin

[Henning Schild]

The forked plugin has gotten out of sync with the last wic version
bumps. And the original fork was not exactly minimal or made for easy
maintenance.

This series does a re-fork of that one plugin with the aim to come up
with something readable, minimal and maintainable.

I think the result looks good and if people agree i would put the same
effort into the efi one in a later series.

p3 is mostly just a drive-by ... it could be applied stand-alone

Henning Schild (3):
  git: reset our fork to OE upstream for re-forking
  wic: apply the actual fork changes to our pcbios plugin fork
  wic: clean up wic class in terms of isar variables

[PATCH 1/3] git: reset our fork to OE upstream for re-forking

[Henning Schild]

Note that this commit alone will not work. It is just to get back to a
starting point for clean history.

It takes the original file from our current OE version in this tree as
basis for later changes.

[PATCH 2/3] wic: apply the actual fork changes to our pcbios plugin fork

[Henning Schild]

This aims to be a rather minimal one-commit fork to do isar specific
changes to the forked class. It does things in a way that results in
somehow strange code but pretty clean patching that aims to be easy to
read and mostly about adding lines to get things done. The hope is that
it will make maintaining the fork easier than before.

I guess I was the last one modifying this file... Just had a look at
upstream commit d3f1af4e2318a4420f4c7f23edd093f66891ca8b, which seems
partially reverted now.

I'm missing the part in do_prepare_partition, where the kernel_suffix
should be optional as well. Maybe I'm just missing / overlooking
something?

There used to be two places where the actual filename of the kernel was
found following the symlink in /. The suffix was extracted to figure
out the name of the initrd. The places have been "copy" and "configure".

In addition "copy" dealt with config and System.map. I changed "copy"
to be "cp -a" simply copying everything from /boot into the boot
partition which will later be mounted at /boot. Meaning no need to know
the filename follow symlinks, derive initrd and other filenames via
"guessing".

So that "cp -a" does take care of the bits that i "reverted". It also
deals with the additional files (config, System.map) introduces by
328dc021ec3d8a1eaff72324b3e9646a0fd5e128 from Vijai.

This is the "magic" line. Copying all files from debian so the plugin
does not need to know there names and name them all.

[PATCH 3/3] wic: clean up wic class in terms of isar variables

[Henning Schild]

Move "KERNEL_FILE" into out Isar append, remove meanwhile unused
variables from that append and add a comment to prevent further
"messing" with forked bits.

This is going too far. DISTRO and DISTRO_ARCH are used in the efi
plugin and need to remain in the append.
