[yocto] recipe to clean up files from rootfs

[Sherif Omran]

here is my recipe, the aim was to remove some files from the init.d folder
and tweek before creating the image

#
# This file was derived from the 'Hello World!' example recipe in the
# Yocto Project Development Manual.
#

SUMMARY = "This recipe removes any missing files from the filesystem before
finalinzing it"
SECTION = "base"
LICENSE = "MIT"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM =
"file://${COMMON_LICENSE_DIR}/MIT;md5=0835ade698e0bcf8506ecda2f7b4f302"

#SRC_URI = "file://*"

S = "${WORKDIR}"
BB_STRICT_CHECKSUM ="0"
ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN}="1"


#IMAGE_INSTALL = "packagegroup-core-boot packagegroup-base-extended
${CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL}"
#IMAGE_INSTALL = "${CORE_IMAGE}"

#inherit core-image

my_postprocess_function() {
 rm -r ${D}${bindir}/init.d/psplash.sh
}

ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "my_postprocess_function; "
