The logic behind making /var/lib/mender a symlink to itself is to
detect if a filesystem is read-only. However, this creates a few problems:
1) The logic confusing.
2) The official mender documentation suggests four partitions minimum:
- boot
- rootfs A
- rootfs B
- data
If a user is to follow the official documentation, which they should,
then there is no need for any additional logic for a system setup with
a read-only filesystem, as the data partition is always read-write.
3) The post-build.sh script in the board/mender/x86_64 directory removes
the symlink.
- Remove symlinking /var/lib/mender to itself
- Remove the difficult to understand logic dealing with the symlinks
in S42mender, mender-client.service.
- Remove the logic dealing with the symlink in
board/mender/x86_64/post-build.sh

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
