Function copy_toolchain_sysroot, which is in charge of copying the relevant
bits from the external toolchain to the staging directory, performs an rsync
loop of various directories and excludes the pattern 'usr/lib/locale' with
the intention of skipping the directory <toolchain>/usr/lib/locale.
However, while this worked in the original commit, commit
5628776c4a broke it inadvertently. The
relevant part of the diff:
- rsync -au --chmod=Du+w --exclude 'usr/lib/locale' \
- $${ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR}/$$i $(STAGING_DIR)/ ; \
+ rsync -au --chmod=Du+w --exclude 'usr/lib/locale' \
+ --exclude lib --exclude lib32 --exclude lib64 \
+ $${ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR}/$$i/ $(STAGING_DIR)/$$i/ ; \
Notice how the source directory now contains a trailing slash, which impacts
the way the exclude rules are interpreted. Previously, when 'i' was 'usr',
the exclude of 'usr/lib/locale' would find a match. With the trailing slash,
there will never be a match, unless for a directory 'usr/usr/lib/locale'.
The right rule would have been '--exclude lib/locale'.
However, just that fix does not solve the problem in all cases, in
particular in the (common) case where ARCH_LIB_DIR is 'lib'. This is due
another change in that commit, changing the iterated values of the above
rsync:
- for i in etc $${ARCH_LIB_DIR} sbin usr ; do \
+ for i in etc $${ARCH_LIB_DIR} sbin usr usr/$${ARCH_LIB_DIR}; do \
Due to the fact that we rsync both 'usr' as 'usr/lib' (assuming ARCH_LIB_DIR
is 'lib') we need to add the correct exclude in both cases. But the exclude
is different for both. When i == 'usr', the correct exclude rule would be
'--exclude lib/locale' while when i == 'usr/lib' the correct rule would be
'--exclude locale'.
Since we would like to avoid separate cases for this, use the following
exclude: '--exclude locale/'. The trailing slash will make sure only
directories called 'locale' will match. The targeted directories are then
usr/lib/locale and usr/share/locale. The latter directory was not matched
originally, but it should not hurt changing that.
