[yocto] changing ownership of a file in a package

[piotr.lewicki]

Thank you. I will try this, but I wonder what is the right way of 
dealing with that when I want to change the ownership of let's say 2 
files from different packages to a user that I create?

Is using "useradd" possible in 2 separate recipes (to create the same user)?



Thanks,

Piotr
