Hello Gaurang, Ross, and Nicolas,
Thank you for your suggestions. I ended up implementing Ross's
suggestion (before I got even got his suggestion) because it was the
only answer I could come with on my own where all the pieces made
sense. I originally asked the question out of a (most likely
misguided) sense that creating a recipe simply to install a shell
script was too heavyweight. I thought there might be a simpler way to
do that than writing a recipe like:
<code>
DESCRIPTION = "My specific shell script[s] that get installed in the rootfs."
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
SRC_URI = "file://my_script.sh"
do_install () {
install -d ${D}${bindir}
install -m 755 ${WORKDIR}/my_script.sh ${D}${bindir}
}
</code>
… and then adding custom-scripts recipe to CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL.
Once I finished writing the recipe, I realized it was much simpler
than I thought it would be. Thanks for providing the infrastructure
that made that so easy.
