[yocto] [meta-raspberrypi] Recipe To Add 3 Script Files To /etc/ppp/peers/<provider-name>

[Miguel Aveiro]

I think you might have already found an answer, but I don't think it's wise
to override the do_install method. Plus, you should also populate your
"${D}" folder, which is "${WORKDIR}/image"; instead of ${IMAGE_ROOTFS},
which is  "${WORKDIR}/rootfs". AFAIK, the way you're doing, the contents of
D will override what your do_intall put in IMAGE_ROOTFS during do_rootfs
phase.

This should work: create a bbappend recipe: ppp_2.4.%.bbappend (change to
the ppp version of your yocto build)


SRC_URI += "\
    file://ppp \
    file://chat-connect \
    file://chat-disconnect \
"

do_install_*append* () {
    install -d ${D}${sysconfdir}/ppp/peers
    install -m 0755 ${S}/<provider>-ppp ${D}${sysconfdir}/ppp/peers/
    install -m 0755 ${S}/<provider>-chat-connect ${D}${sysconfdir}/
ppp/peers/
    install -m 0755 ${S}/<provider>-chat-disconnect ${D}${sysconfdir}/
ppp/peers/
}

# Mark the files which are part of this package
FILES_${PN} += "${sysconfdir}/ppp/ \
                             ${sysconfdir}/ppp/peers/ \
                             ${sysconfdir}/ppp/peers/provider>-ppp \
                             ${sysconfdir}/ppp/peers/provider>-chat-connect
\
                             ${sysconfdir}/ppp/peers/
provider>-chat-disconnect\
"
