Here is the whole bbclass/:

rm -f $linkname

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.
If you're using a postfunc you don't need to addtask at all: using
postfuncs means you don't need to have a separate task at all.

Ok, I understand now that 'addtask' is only necessary when I need
seperate task to run. I think you solved my issue. Thanks again!
