Build my own Vix image

[birdman]

One odd 6.3.x to 6.4.x change is that some parts procps now uses libncursesw rather than libncurses.

Why anything would want to use wide-chars on a Linux system is a mystery and why it would change now is even more of one.

(Only noticed this as the editor I use links against libncurses and it stopped working - for a while).

But now, for instance with my last build just completed minutes ago (and untested) the version in the changelog was "developer 6.4.001.002" but the resulting images were:
openvix-6.4.001.001.developer-zgemmah7_multi.zip and openvix-6.4.001.001.developer-zgemmah7_recovery_emmc.zip
when I expected 6.4.001.002.

I think Huevos has just fixed it:

There is an override in layer.conf, which breaks using ?= syntax for DEVELOPER_BUILD_VERSION in distro.conf.

I've just built my first image for a ZGemma H9 Twin SE. The image is correctly named as openvix-6.4.001.004.developer-zgemmah9twinse but it builds into a folder called h9combose. I know it's not a problem and the combo and twin are the same base, just thought I'd mention it in case that shouldn't happen.

BTW, I think I'm missing something, how do I turn subtitles off by default? Can't remember how I did it on other boxes and can't see a switch anywhere.

It should happen.

Now to see whether I can get this into the meta-oe-alliance git....

I have been uncommenting the static feed line in openvix conf which seems to save a lot of build time.
But every time I perform a 'make update', I get this error message.

Is it possible that the static feed can be uncommented as default or will that cause issues?

I don't know. How would I do that?

No, sorry. I haven't got a webcam. Email & SMS are enough for me.

Never thought of that. I've just tried it and it seems to build a ZGemma H7 image OK. I'm away for a few Days and can't test build for other boxes until I return.

[birdman]

I don't know. How would I do that?

Put a site·conf file into the oe-alliance directory.

Mine looks like this:

SCONF_VERSION = "1"
DL_DIR = "/var/tmp/dev-build/oe-alliance/sources"
INHERIT += "rm_work"
# ENIGMA2_URI = "https://github.com/OpenViX/enigma2.git;protocol=git;branch=Dev$
# DISTRO_FEED_URI = "http://nuc.lacknet/feeds/${DISTRO_NAME}/${DISTRO_TYPE}/${D$
#
# Stop some things being built...e.g. rclone..
#
STATIC_FEED = "1"

Although I actually keep this elsewhere and do this in oe-alliance:

rm -f site.conf builds/openvix/developer/${machine2}/conf/site.conf

before copying in this base one at the start of a build.
But that's because I might do the build on any of a few systems, and they have different numbers of processors, so I want to clear out that setting (which the build will put in the machine2 version once it starts).

So where is your static feed?
