this was removed now in meta-oe commit
af3fc04cfb64d9f229be26f47b4dec892ff919dc ("dfu-util-native: Remove
DEPLOY_DIR_TOOLS from sstate-outputdirs") apparantely.

However, I do not get the argumentation for that:

Setting do_deploy[sstate-outputdirs] to something different than its default 
appears to be valid for me and has nothing to do with DEPLOYDIR, which is only 
the sstate intermediate directory name.
And the result of this is, that the tool now lands in DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE instead.


My motivation of questioning is, that we have in our RAUC recipe a similar 
usage:

https://github.com/rauc/meta-rauc/blob/master/recipes-core/rauc/rauc-native_1.3.bb#L5

The idea behind that was that one might give some convenience to use the tool 
manually to manipulate update bundles, re-sign them, obtain meta information, 
etc.

What is the now suggested way of placing these kind of binaries? Simply in 
DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGES as the above-mentioned commit does (silently)?
Or is there maybe still some motivation to keep DEPLOY_DIR_TOOLS?


Thanks and best regards

Enrico
