It isn't clear that the README_-_DO_NOT_DELETE_FILES_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY.txt
file in the deploy directory warrants the complexity it brings elsewhere.
Let's just remove it entirely.

In particular, if two do_image_complete tasks run in parallel they risk
both trying to put their image into ${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE} at the same time.
Both will contain a README_-_DO_NOT_DELETE_FILES_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY.txt
file. In theory this should be safe because "cp -alf" will just cause one
to overwrite the other. Unfortunately, coreutils cp also has a race[1]
which means that if one copy creates the file at just the wrong point the
other will fail with:

 cp: cannot create hard link ‘..../tmp-glibc/deploy/images/pantera/README_-_DO_NOT_DELETE_FILES_IN_THIS_D.txt’ to
+‘..../tmp-glibc/work/rage_against-oe-linux-gnueabi/my-own-image/1.0-r0/deploy-my-own-image-complete/README_-_DO_NOT_DELETE_FILES_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY.txt’: File exists

If you use subprocess.check_output() the traceback will contain the output
when the command fails which is very useful for debugging. There is no
good reason not to use this everywhere.

<title>lib/oe/rootfs: reliably handle alternative symlinks</title>
<updated>2017-01-16T18:01:57+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.multitech.net/cgit/openembedded-core.git/commit/?id=5263dd3eac9d9fbdb7ef654d0cd532c192baed16'/>
<id>5263dd3eac9d9fbdb7ef654d0cd532c192baed16</id>
<content type='text'>
When removing unneeded packages from a (read-only) rootfs
during rootfs creation, alternative symlinks from those
packages may or may not be removed.

The reason is as follows:

update-alternatives(-native) is used during package
installation as part of the image creation. It uses
a database which contains entries for all the
alternative symlinks possible, and the -native version
uses the target's database by means of $OPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT,
i.e. the rootfs we're in the process of creating.

Once the rootfs has been created, OE removes certain
packages because we have a read-only rootfs - in
particular ROOTFS_RO_UNNEEDED which includes
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_update-alternatives, i.e. the
update-alternatives. Recently, a change was made in
OE, where uninstallation of update-alternatives from the
rootfs causes removal of its database, too, to save space
(700KiB (uncompressed) in a busybox system)
  b24a63d71b517af701dfedbc7f7b541d25af708f
  http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/meta/recipes-devtools/opkg-utils/opkg-utils_git.bb?id=b24a63d71b517af701dfedbc7f7b541d25af708f

Following from that, if update-alternatives is removed
from the target file system, update-alternatives-native
has no database anymore, meaning it can't manage any of
the alternative symlinks anymore.

Because the order of packages to uninstall is
non-deterministic, and update-alternatives could well
be removed before any packages that use the mechanism
provided, sometimes the extra symlinks are removed,
sometimes not.

By sorting the list of packages to be removed such that
update-alternatives is removed last, we can ensure that
that tings work reliably. (Certainly opkg seems to
uninstall packages in the order given on the command
line.)

<content type='text'>
The /etc and /usr/lib/ssl directories were only put into the opkg-generated
debugfs because of a bug in opkg which means that a conffile has to exist if
we're running 'opkg status'.  This is now fixed, so the workaround can be
reverted.

<title>classes/image: suppress log_check mechanism for warnings/errors logged through BitBake</title>

If you printed a warning through bb.warn() / bbwarn or an error through
bb.error() / bberror, this was also being picked up by our log_check
mechanism that was designed to pick up warnings and errors printed by
other programs used during do_rootfs. This meant you saw not only the
warning or error itself, you saw it a second time through log_check,
which is a bit ugly. Use the just-added BB_TASK_LOGGER to access the
logger and add a handler that we can use to find out if any warning or
error we find in the logs is one we should ignore as it has already been
printed.

Fixes [YOCTO #8223].

We were calling _log_check() in the RPM-specific rootfs class as well as
in the base class; this is unnecessary and resulted in any errors/warnings
generated during the actual package installation time triggering two warnings
instead of one. Drop the call from RpmRootfs._create() to fix this.

Changed deployment directory from DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE to
IMGDEPLOYDIR to make sstate machinery to do final deployment and
generate manifest.

Renamed variable deploy_dir to deploy_dir_image in selftest code
to avoid confusion with DEPLOYDIR variable.

Updated the code of rootfs.py:Rootfs class to use IMGDEPLOYDIR variable
as it's now used as a new deployment destination.

functionality by adding the FORCE_RO_REMOVE variable, which will
remove these packages regardless of any image features.

nothing.
