[yocto] RFC: Post build configuration

[Rudolf Streif]

Ramana,

Maybe I do not understand what exactly you are looking for. Maybe you have
some concrete examples.

Anything that somehow changes the configuration of the target has to go
into the root file system one way or the other. You can easily include
packages into the root file system by adding them to the IMAGE_INSTALL
variable. But no matter what BitBake will have to re-run the tasks building
the root file system.

That works fine for a small number of devices but it does not scale. If you
need to scale it you need to do configuration management after you have
brought up the device for the first time during test. Then you can use the
package manager to install new packages.
