Add the following utilities in 'initramfs-test-full-image.bb' - net-tools (for connectivity functionality - e.g. ifconfig, netstat, route are crucial for network diagnostics and configuration) - rng-tools (for cryptography, secure communications, and randomness) Signed-off-by: Vivek Puar <[email protected]>

Please add a recipe for the testsuite instead of pulling dependencies manually. Declare all dependencies for a testsuite (including those already being part of the initramfs). Then simply install the testsuite as a part of the initramfs |
Why? How is this PR different from what we already have in this image? I don't understand. |
From my PoV we have had a random collection of tools there. If we are using it to run a testsuite, I'd really like to know, which packages are required for the tests and which are just random tools. E.g. I don't want to duplicate the list if Neil starts using our testsuite in QCLT CI |

Another option might be define a packagegroup. Would that be better from your POV? |
|
it's an image, i am fine to keep things simple in there. net-tools and rng-tools are fairly standard utilities, so I am ok to have them listed there. a packagegroup is useful if we need to make several image variants so that we don't repeat the list, IMHO. |
