If I cleanall the package and build it again, then my changes are there. We are using prserv in our setup and for instance, changes in do_install_append() cause a rebuild an a prserv initiated pr bump, but changes in pkg_postinst_ontarget_${PN}_append() seem to be ignored. I can easily and consistently reproduce it in my setup. It's worth mentioning, that when I run bitbake -e msmtp and look for pkg_postinst_ontarget_msmtp= in the output, then I do see my changes there. 82726 1 richard.purdie 2019-01-10 15:29:18 +0000 At a guess pkg_postinst_ontarget needs to be listed in PACKAGEVARS in package.bbclass for this to work properly. 82879 2 richard.purdie 2019-01-27 13:14:04 +0000 http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=55ab45436d2bcaedb0bee6054ce829afab7a9073 82882 3 alex.kanavin 2019-01-28 10:50:10 +0000 *** Bug 13151 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
