Hi Andrew,
At the buildroot developer meeting we decided to drop this patch. For
your particular use case, there is a better way to do it with
<pkg>_PERMISSIONS or with the device table. We also discussed other use
cases, like doing an rsync inside the fakeroot, but these use cases can
just untar the tarball in a post-image script and work on that. And
finally, having all these different POST_xxx steps makes things confusing.
If you still see a reason to add this feature, don't hesitate to tell us.
Regards,
Arnout
