[poky] [autobuilder]

[Peter Kjellerstedt]

Well, the problem we have seen and which is fixed by my patch, is that if one recipe uses GROUPMEMS_PARAM, any other recipe that creates users or groups can fail if the two recipes happen to be built at the same time. Obviously, if you do not have any recipe which use GROUPMEMS_PARAM, then my patch will not help you.

Another source of problems like this is if you have multiple recipes that create the same user or group. We have a lot of recipes that do this, so we have had to add the following temporary solution to our configuration to avoid this problem:

SSTATECLEANFUNCS_remove = "userdel_sysroot_sstate"

I have promised that I will develop a proper solution that allows users and groups to be removed from the sysroot in a safe way even when multiple recipes install the same user/group, but unfortunately I have not had time to do that yet.

The parameters in the recipe i use to add the group

inherit useradd
USERADD_PACKAGES = "${PN}"
GROUPADD_PARAM_${PN} = " --system --force networker"

I basically looked at the other recipes in the meta layer adding groups and did the same. And they obviously work.

Assuming at least one recipe that you build use GROUPMEMS_PARAMS_${PN}, a patch I sent to openembedded-core at lists.openembedded.org<mailto:openembedded-core at lists.openembedded.org> yesterday will most likely fix this:

I have an issue with useradd command not succeeding. The issue is appearing when building the image with autobuilder.

error msg:
"do_populate_sysroot_setscene: mqclient-base-files: useradd command did not succeed."

The user being added in the recipe depends on another group that i add from another recipe, which the logs states that the group does not exits, even though i check in the sysroot that it does.
I even had to apply the --force flag to the recipe adding the group because it generated an error stating it already existed.

What could be the problem ?
