modify sudoers

[mishuk]

Hello!

I`m using Petalinux 2017.2 and having trouble modifying /etc/sudoers file. 

I found /etc/sudoers is a part of sudo package, so I added sudo folder to <petalinux>/project-spec/meta-user/recipes-core with sudo_%.bbappend file and sudo subfolder.

sudo_%.bbappend contains the only line 

FILESEXTRAPATHS_append := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"

and sudo subfolder contains modified etc/sudoers file.

Where am I wrong?

Hi @mishuk,

Which file you are trying to modify ?

sudo recipe should be under recipes-extended as show below http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/recipes-extended/sudo?h=morty

<plnx-proj-root>/project-spec/meta-user/recipes-extended/sudo_%.bbappend

Finally I got the desired result modifying files:

project-spec/meta-user/recipes-core/sudo/sudo/sudoers
project-spec/meta-user/recipes-core/sudo/sudo_%.bbappend

sudo_%.bbappend:

FILESEXTRAPATHS_append := "${THISDIR}/${PN}:"
SRC_URI += "file://sudoers"
do_install_append () {
    install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/sudoers ${D}${sysconfdir}/sudoers
}

You proposed another way through modifying recipes-extended layer.  Which way is the best?  I mean maintainability in long-range perspective.
