[elbe-users] File deleted in finetuning error

[ew.foe at nassur.net]

Since there was no reply ...

Hello,

I do have the same problem.

I add an archive to the build, including two scripts:
> /root/f.finetuning.sh
> /root/f.finetuning-devel.sh

These files are called in the finetuning section of the build
>   <finetuning>
>      ...
>      <command>/bin/bash -vx /root/f.finetuning.sh</command>
>      <command>/bin/bash -vx /root/f.finetuning-devel.sh</command>

I would then like to remove these files, since they are not needed any
more
>      <rm>/root/f.finetuning*</rm>

But this results in an error:
         : [ERROR] Archive file /root/f.finetuning.sh deleted in finetuning
         : [ERROR] Archive file /root/f.finetuning-devel.sh deleted in  
finetuning

truncating the file instead of deleting it, does not help (elbe is
being clever):
         : [ERROR] Archive file /root/f.finetuning.sh modified in finetuning
         : [ERROR] Archive file /root/f.finetuning-devel.sh modified  
in finetuning

And the build fails! YESSS! It's finally there, the build fails on
errors in finetuning! Thank you!

However, I'm immediately annoyed about my own errors :-/

So the question remains:
What is the korrekt way to use an external file in <finetuning> and
delete it after use.
- other <rm ...> syntax?

- copy the file into the build from the build environment (not in
   archive.tar.gz)? Then delete after use? And how is it transported
   into the build env?

- one of b2t_cp, t2b_cp, t2p_cp buildenv_cp rm_artifact --- the xml
   reference is a whee bit terse on the exact purpose of these.

- none of the above?

- other???

The documentation
https://elbe-rfs.org/docs/sphinx/article-elbeoverview-en.html states

> It’s also possible to include an archive into the XML file, that is
> unpacked into the target root-filesystem after the finetuning step.

*after* the finetuning step? Are you sure? If so, calling my
finetuning-scripts would result in "file not found", wouldn't it?


Please excuse my ignorance if I'm asking the obvious.


Cheers,
Erich
