Force to install package last

Force to install package last

[METHOT, DAVID]

Hello,

I made a package recipe to merge files into my final rootfs (mostly init scripts under /etc).

These files may be overriden by other packages so it is crucial that they remain intact.

I am wondering if there is a way to make sure a package is the last one to be installed in the rootfs.

Thank you,

David

There is no mechanism for this. There are two alternative means to do this 
kind of thing (just for the files that are already packaged by other recipes):

A) Use bbappends on the original recipes that package these files to change 
them there as desired

or

B) Create a shell function in your image which makes the desired modifications 
under ${IMAGE_ROOTFS} and add it to ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND; it will be 
called towards the end of the image construction.

Cheers,
Paul
