The initramfs is not a reall filesystem, so it does not use the
$(rootfs) infrastructure.
As a consequence, the usual rootfs-related variables are not set,
especially the name, type, and dependencies of the (non-)filesystem.
Yet, it is present in the list of rootfs to build, and thus we end
up including it in the output of show-info. But the missing variables
yield an incorrect json:
"": {
"type": "",
"virtual": false,
"version": "",
"licenses": "",
"dl_dir": "",
"install_target": ,
"install_staging": ,
"install_images": ,
"downloads": [ ],
"dependencies": [ ],
"reverse_dependencies": [ ]
},
First, the object key is empty; second, the install_target,
install_staging, and install_images values are empty, which is not
valid (if they were null, that be OK though). Third, this is clearly
the layout of a 'package' entry, not that of a 'rootfs' entry.
An option to fix that would be to actually make use of the rootfs
infra. However, that would mean doing a lot of work for nothing
(there is actually nothing to do, yet the infra would still do a lot
of preparatory and clean up work).
The alternative is pretty simple: declare and set the variables as if
it were a real filesystem, so that show-info can filter it to the
proper layout and can spit out appropriate content (even if fake).
The third option would be to teach show-info (and its internal
implementation, the macro json-info) to ignore specific cases, like
no-name items, or replace empty values with null, or whatnots. This
again would be quite a lot of work for a single occurence.
So we go for the simple faked variables.
We add linux as a dependency, so that the graph-depends also properly
represent the dependency chain, which ends up with something liKe:
ALL
|
v
rootfs-initramfs
| |
v v
linux rootfs-cpio
which is pretty fitting in the end.
