[yocto] How to Install Third party rpm packages

[chaitanya cherukuri]

Hi,

Thank you for the clarification.
In do_install(), I used rpm2cpio.sh to extract the rpm and then copied the
rpm contents in the right place.
        $rpm2cpio.sh *.rpm | cpio -idmv
I hope this is the right way to handle RPM packages.

RPM has a post-installation script that I need to handle. This script
executes after the installation of RPM. Could I know what is the efficient
way to run the script?

Thank you,
Chaitanya
