Yes, I would have liked to solve the problem that way, but unfortunately
the software doesn't support it, and we don't want to make changes
currently. :)
I'm having a lot of trouble getting pkg_postinst() to work. From what I've
read, it should happen during rootfs generation, but I'm not see the file
in the rootfs.
I found an example in the xfce4-session_4.10.0.bb recipe. It looks like
/etc/hosts is installed by netbase, so this is very similar to what my
recipe is doing.
# protect from frightening message that xfce might not work correctly
pkg_postinst_${PN} () {
echo 127.0.0.1 ${MACHINE} >> /etc/hosts
}
I've tried this in my recipe, and the file that I expect to be present in
the rootfs is not there...not sure what I'm doing wrong.
pkg_postinst_${PN} () {
echo test >> /etc/inittest2
}
Also, the documentation states that this mechanism can be used to do things
on first boot. Do I need to add code to make sure that this doesn't happen
on first boot?
Thanks!
Seth
