Hello,
yes, sorry , i mean , i was looking for a post-build script for my
board in a fakeroot environnement.
customize package is deprecated.
in board/me/Myproject/rootfs-adds/root/
i want to cp files of root user.
So i need to use custom skeletonfs or use customize package.
Is there a better way to do it?
thanks.
customize package
