not compiling on openwrt 14.07 barrier_breaker

[morriswinkler]

i have tried that on a more recent version of openwrt, i had to make some changes to make that work

that is not a real patch but i hope you can see my point , are you still trying to get that stuff into openwrt ?

I have pretty much given in. Project is available at github and willing ones can join the team and contribute..

just for interest, why did you give in, had it something with the openwrt dev to do ?

I made a HUGE job (on my opinion) while contributing to OpenWrt without even a reason for reject. Even though some of my work.. Was recommended by others. I most propably will contribute again in future- but for this, I have already used my voice. There is a github project that holds rpi specific feed with rpi packages(propably outdated now) where I made this populate fs utility. If someone has interest in continuing my work, I will happily alkoi to join the project..

Although, populatefs can be used for so Manu other boards as well- whenever you need a ext image- it should be a very handy tool for image creation and there was a need for one, so I built it..

It is pretty much free, so I do not urge people to use it- to me - it seemed that openwrt is not so interested in building a better/more versatile/more compatible ext4 images - even though it was provided for then on a silver plait..

Sounds bitter enough? :) I needed it- and tryied to give it to others and help that way.. Didn't work out that well, but I am happy that someone finds use for it :)

Thanks..

Just so you know, after i little chat on the ext4 irc i figured that e2fsprogs will add a new commandlineswitch to mke2fs in the upcomming version 1.43, the switch is -d and allows to populate a ext4fs while creating, so i will wait till that version will be released and propose a patch to the openwrt-dev list than, anyway barrier breaker has been frozen since monday last week, so there is more than enough time to get that in, but still i would like to backport my changes to your repros rpi-openwrt, so to make them work with barrier breaker, if that is ok with you, otherwhise i could open a new repro, but i guess that would be more confusing

Like I said; anyone interested is more that welcome to contribute :) if someone would had done what I did- I would had got a much faster startup to my project so I thought sharing isn't a problem - it is a solution as most of people with ideas have their day jobs and so on - so they are fighting against time - and due to minor missing components, they might have to forget the ideas they have- and we don't want that..

Anyway- mke2fs introduced this feature a long time ago- I waited it for 2 months and it didn't come - therefore; I created the missing tool which partly is based on debugfs to maintain maximum compatibility. It might come soon or not- but it won't be any better with the results as my tool - tell you what, use my tool now for the time being for generating your builds and then upgrade to "official" version from mke2fs. So far you already have fixed building my tool so you just as well can use it.. I am eager to see what you come up with..

Geez- I thought this was a personal conversation :)

[oskarirauta]

Anyway, although I built the utility for openwrt- it is a standalone utility that can be used in numerous different projects- lole Yocto, lfs, and so on - build issue introduced is not in populatefs- it is in the makefile provided for openwrt and changes should be made to patch provided in openwrt trac/patchwork - not here, so I am closing the issue as invalid.
