[gentoo-embedded] /sbin/functions.sh missing in baselayout-lite

[gentoo-embedded] /sbin/functions.sh missing in baselayout-lite

[Jakub Ladman]

Hi all

I have software (allready functional) which has init.d script to start, stop, 
test, e.t.c.

But this script depends on /etc/init.d/functions which is on my pc (not my 
real target) a symlink to /sbin/functions.sh

I have copied both script and symlink to my target's filesystem, but it fails 
on non existent bash shell

I use busybox shell

Is somewhere a version of functions.sh compatible with busybox shell, or i 
need to compile real bash?

Or something completely different?

Thank you.

Natanael Copa develops baselayout-alpine, a busybox-based base layout
able to use the standard Gentoo init scripts, in his Gentoo
distribution fork, Alpine Embedded Linux. He is also a regular on this
mailing list.

Should we put the baselayout-alpine in the Embedded Gentoo project
overlay? I would like to try it on embedded Gentoo.

What alpine-baselayout (former baselayout-alpine) gives you
is /sbin/runscript that will allow you to run most gentoo init.d
scripts. Some are very bash specific, easily fixed to run in busybox
shell (I havent bothered reporting those things as bugs since my
baselayout is not in portage. Many has trivial fixes)

It will also give you some init.d scripts for busybox applets (inetd,
watchdog, syslog, etc), loading modules.

The biggest differences is the debian style /etc/network/interfaces (I
use busybox stuff rather than trying to port the zillions gentoo
gawk/bash specifics)

I also have a sysv init style links to init.d scripts to tell what
services to start rather than trying to port the dependency tracking in
gentoo init scripts.

There are some gentoo irrelevant stuff too, like loading packages during
runtime.

You have an ebuild here:
rsync://rsync.alpinelinux.org/alpine-portage/sys-apps/alpine-baselayout

And the source here:
http://dev.alpinelinux.org/alpine/alpine-baselayout/alpine-baselayout-1.0.0.tar.gz

i wouldnt bother with the Gentoo network stuff from baselayout ...what we have 
is very powerful, dont get me wrong ... it's just that if you're size 
conscious, then your target hardware is probably going to have a very static 
network setup which means you can just hand write the friggin stuff and be 
done

I have found 
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo/src/embedded/baselayout-lite/image/sbin/functions.sh, 
but my cross-emerge baselayout-lite does not install it.

This file copied to my filesystems seems to be fully functional.

Why emerge does not install this file?

Then I think alpine-baselayout would be perfect for gentoo-embedded. It
uses busybox heavily (mdev instead of udev etc).

I can submit an ebuild to bugzilla (on monday)

btw... We are building a webconf to alpine, using haser/lua. Since most
configfiles are gentoo configs, it will probably work on gentoo-embedded
too.
