Hi Quentin,
I have now read up on the exact meaning of PROVIDES and PACKAGES and I do
understand your response.
It does sound like I am talking about PACKAGES since I did suspect PROVIDES to
work like that.
Well at least if PROVIDES would work like that, it would explain why my
postinstall did not work previously.
But I did use PROVIDES, which I now know is basically just a alias.
Here is the situation I had before and how I solved it:
Previous attempt:
*my_recipe.bb:*
...
PROVIDES += "my_recipes_package"
RPROVIDES_${PN} += "my_recipes_package"
pkg_postinst_ontarget_${PN} () {
#!/bin/sh
file=$D/home/root/test/test.txt
printf "hello world\n" > $file
}
*my_image.bb:*
IMAGE_INSTALL += " my_recipes_package "
current solution:
*my_recipe.bb:*
...
pkg_postinst_ontarget_${PN} () {
#!/bin/sh
file=$D/home/root/test/test.txt
printf "hello world\n" > $file
}
*my_image.bb:*
IMAGE_INSTALL += " my_recipe "
I can only guess that the postinst was only attached to the package called
"my_recipe" and not to its alias "my_recipes_package"?
Stefan
