I'm finding that I use a pattern like this in a number of recipes to install
all the files that exist in a particular folder, generally scripts or data
files:
# copy scripts
pushd ${S}/files/bin
# note that failure in the exec is not always captured here, so this needs
to be enhanced
# to catch that kind of build failure.
find . -type f -exec install -m 0644 {} ${D}/bin/{} \;
popd
As the comment exists, I need to expand this to a real loop with error handing,
so I'm wondering if (a) there already exists a similar call that I can reuse in
yocto (similar to oe_libinstall), or (b) whether I should add it to
utils.bbclass, or a private recipe. Would it be useful to submit back to the
project? Or am I just going about a common task the wrong way?
I'm thinking of adding a function like this:
oe_folderinstall <source> <dest> <mode>
Thanks,
Brad
