[yocto] Need help for custom recipe

[Bipnesh, Abhinav (Abhinav)]

Hi,

Thanks for providing input. I would need to evaluate the modification required to override such thing. One quick query in the do_install() can we have the check as we do normally in the RPM spec file.
I mean to say %file and some logic like if this exist then execute a particular block. A post and prerun section. As what I can understand is that do_install or internally do_package generate its own SPEC file and create RPM.
Sorry for ask such thing as I am not able to find a document reference or an example which shows how we can achieve the same.

Thanks,
Abhinav

I'd have to say this is something we don't support. If you want to do this you
would need to disable the current packaging tasks and stage the package files
yourself, but that's going to take almost as much work as converting over your
postinstall scripts to be specified within the recipe. You would also lose all
of the package QA checks that we currently run.

If you *really* want to do this then you'll probably need a custom do_package to put the RPMs you've generated in the place that bitbake expects them, or maybe a custom do_deploy.  At this point you're subverting the system so you'll have to look at the default tasks to work out how they operate and how to replace them.
