Subject: [ptxdist] [PATCH] usr-rootfs: always enable, decouple from initmethod
Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2026 17:19:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260328161943.966987-1-artur@4wiebe.de> (raw)
usr-rootfs installs the /usr merge symlinks (/bin → usr/bin,
/sbin → usr/sbin, /lib → usr/lib). These are required for any
dynamically linked binary to run, as the dynamic linker is looked
up via /lib64 → usr/lib.
Previously usr-rootfs was pulled in via "select USR_ROOTFS" in
initmethod. This broke minimal initramfs setups where /init is a
plain shell script and INITMETHOD is disabled: without the symlinks,
even busybox fails to start because the dynamic linker cannot be
found.
The UsrMerge layout is unconditionally needed on any target image,
so make USR_ROOTFS a bool with default y and remove the dependency
from initmethod.
