Re: [Ltib] [LTIB] Modifying rc.local

[Douglas Peterson]

The merge directory is how I was modifying rc.local originally. This had the 
problem that what ended up in the rootfs after running LTIB was not always the 
one in the merge directory. To guarantee that rootfs contained the correct 
file, I would delete the entire rootfs before building (I probably could have 
deleted only the rc.local file, but there was another reason I wiped the entire 
directory--long story, which has been remedied).

Hi Peter,

The docs could do with maintenance, but as I've said before at the 
moment I have almost zero time available.

Also a better way to override rc.local is to create a merge directory 
under your config/platform/_target_ directory, e.g

config/platform/_target_/merge/etc/rc.d/rc.local  (there are some 
examples on other platforms such as mpc8349itx).

There's a note about this in the FAQ under:

---+ Root Filesystems
---++ Can I add files to the target root file system without creating a 
package

Regards, Stuart
