Cheers, mate!
That solves my issue (but with small fix).
/do_unpack[postfuncs] += "do_latest_link"
/instead/
//do_unpack[postfuncs] += "latest_link"
Because, without "do_" it says
WARNING: Function latest_link doesn't exist
/Here is the whole bbclass/:
/
DESCRIPTION = "Creates symlink to the latest version workdir of the
package"
do_latest_link() {
if [ -n "${WORKDIR}" ]; then
linkname="$(dirname ${WORKDIR})/latest"
rm -f $linkname
ln -s $(basename ${WORKDIR}) $linkname
fi
}
addtask latest_link after do_unpack
do_unpack[postfuncs] += "do_latest_link"
But for better understanding I made the more throughout look into the
documentations. I found the information about "postfuncs" you talk about
[1]. However, the tasks description [2] doesn't say anything about
including the task in the process, it just describes the demanded order
that the task is put ( addtask something after|before othertask ).
That is so, until I read "3.6. Variable Flags" [3]. Where is quite
clearly stated those variables control functionality and *dependencies*.
The documentation is quite unclear in that case.

Ok, but I don't want to run it everytime, just after the
do_unpack. What I need to put it in requirements for each recipe ?
Maybe something like
do_unpack[require] = "latest_link"
do_unpack[postfuncs] += "latest_link" will run latest_link after
unpack has executed.
