Hello,

buildroot's documentation says:

Quoted 3 lines

In the Buildroot configuration, you can specify the path to a *post-build script*, that gets called /after/ Buildroot builds all the selected software, but /before/ the rootfs packages are assembled.

I understand this the way that the post-build script is called as the last action before package assembly.

In fact the post-build script is called before some modifications take place:

                -e '/^127.0.1.1/d'

for dir in ; \
        do \
                for lang in $(cd $dir; ls .|grep -v man); \
                do \
                        grep -qx $lang
/home/stephan/buildroot/output/build/locales.nopurge || rm -rf
$dir/$lang; \
                done; \
        done

Is this a bug or a feature? I'd prefer having the script called after the target directory is completely set up.

Kind regards

Stephan

I would call it a bug. I recently fixed up a similar issue with the passwd handling happening after the post-build script.

Care to send a patch to fix it?

I can try, but at the moment I am too busy. Maybe somewhere next week.

This seems to be fixed in the meantime. I had this problem a distribution based on 2012.08.

Sorry, I should have tried with the latest version before bothering the list.

Kind regards
