Beginner 9b519e7747 base-files: add option to make /var persistent (#7719) ... * base-files: add option to make /var persistent In OpenWrt, /var is symlinked to /tmp by default. This is done to reduce the amount of writes to the flash chip, which often have not the greatest durability. As a result, things like DHCP or UPnP lease files, are not persistent across reboots. Since OpenWrt can run on devices with more durable storage, it makes sense to have an option for a persistent /var. Add an option to make /var persistent. When enabled, /var will no longer be symlinked to /tmp, but /var/run will be symlink to /tmp/run, as it should contains only files that should not be kept during reboot. The option is off by default, to maintain the current behaviour. Signed-off-by: Stijn Tintel <stijn@linux-ipv6.be> * base-files: fix option to make /var persistent The option was initially named TARGET_ROOTFS_LN_VAR_TMP, and the check was correct. When renaming the option to something more suitable, the check was changed to check for n, but when an option is not set, it's not n but empty. This results in the check always evaluating to false. Fix the check by checking for y with ifneq.
