Runs with the current working directory set to ${B}, which is the compilation directory. Note { When installing files, be careful not to set the owner and group IDs of the installed files to unintended values. Some methods of copying files, notably recursive 'cp', can preserve the UID and/or GID of the original file, which is usually not what we want. The host-user-contaminated QA check checks for files that probably have the wrong ownership. Safe methods for installing files include the following: * The 'install' utility. This should be the preferred method. * 'cp' with --no-preserve=ownership * 'tar' with --no-same-owner (see bin_package.bbclass for an example) } 64117 1 srifenbark 2016-07-18 19:20:15 +0000 Ulf, See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-tasks-install for the changes and report back... thanks, Scott 64119 2 ulfalizer 2016-07-18 19:33:28 +0000 Maybe host-user-contaminated could use code highlighting like in '5.6.7. QA Check Changes'. Looks good otherwise. Looks like host-user-contaminated isn't mentioned in '7.62. insane.bbclass'. I could open a separate ticket for that later. Cheers, Ulf 64130 3 srifenbark 2016-07-18 20:40:55 +0000 Ok - I added that formatting - http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-tasks-install. If you want to open a separate ticket for the other issue please do so. I am going to set this bug to RESOLVED and place the doc flag in "Done." Scott
