[yocto] customizing system configuration files in my image

[Jörg Wittenberger]

Hi all,

yet another newbie here stumbling around...

I'm not trying to find "any way" to do what I need.  I'm trying to learn how these thing sould be done in yocto.  Looks to mea s if I'm missing something basic.

I failed trying to follow this example.

I  have this samba_4.%.bbappend :
----
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/iris:"

do_install_append() {
    install -m644 iris/smb.conf ${D}${sysconfdir}/samba/smb.conf
}

And in the same directory a subdirectory "iris" which contrains the "smb.conf" I want to install.

Does not work.  Using `bitbake -c devshell samba` I found no copy of my "iris" directory.

Thanks so much.

/Jörg
