Why do I (always) point out the obvious?

And I do need... Geniuses are not meant to fix The World to understand them!?

Geniuses should understand The World (and act properly)!

Extras to geniality, do you, YOCTO primes, think?

Robert... If I am correct, i'm I?

Should you include in docs some examples??? Yes, U should!
As for an example fix:
poky/meta/conf/distro/include/init-manager-*.con, NOT
conf/distro/include/init-manager-*.conf

(full path is more explicit, isn't it?)

And some local.conf examples/snippets (since all descriptions are here
and there very dry):

## Add systemd service
INIT_MANAGER = "systemd"
## DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd"
## DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED += "sysvinit"
## VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"
## VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_dev_manager = "systemd"
## VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = ""

Where INIT_MANAGER = "systemd" replaces all commented commands below....

My two cent advice,
Zee

Hello Yocto team:

I just started with yocto and would like to know the process for
switching the init manager from systemd to sysvinit.

I tried this options in config file
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "busybox"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_udev = "sysvinit"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_udev-utils = "sysvinit"
DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED = "sysvinit"
DEFAULT_DISTRO_FEATURES += " sysvinit"

I see a warning when building my machine:

No recipe for target:
/recipes-core/sysvinit/sysvinit_2.88dsf.bbappend
Please find out which layer is adding this bbappend you could use

bitbake-layers show-appends sysvinit

It seems recipe version is newer perhaps and the bbappend is still made
for older recipe, these things happen when you mix release branches for
different layers.


When I run this build on my target it still shows me systemd init manager...

Not sure if I am missing any options.
Could you please let me know if there are any pointers I can refer to?

Thanks,
Priya
