Smonit error during compilation with lime-sdk

[ilario]

During compilation with lime-sdk seems that the init script of smonit gets executed, and fails.

$ ./cooker --flavor=lime_default -c brcm63xx/smp --profile=FAST2704N --update-feeds --community=tgnu-tarragonahacklab/mesh

Right, smonit should have cron as dependency. I thought it was always enabled by default since CONFIG_BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_CROND is usualy set to yes, but looks like it is not in your router profile.

Can you try this patch on lime-packages?

224 is not related to this issue. The /etc/init.d/smonit enable was run on my laptop, during compilation. Not on the router. So the error is in init.d/smonit file.

Moreover I tested and the error is still there.

[p4u]

I would not say during compilation but after compilation and installation of packages on the destination folder which will be packed into the firmware image. The process run "/etc/init.d/ enable" and it crashes if /etc/crontab does not exist (cause CRONTAB is not installed). This was my guest!

Have you checked it and #224 does not solve this issue?

[ilario]

I checked and does not solve. The script targets the /etc/crontabs/root on my laptop, not on the router, this is the problem (and fails because on my laptop neither crontab nor cron is installed).
