[Buildroot] post-build script is called before rootfs tweaking

[Stephan Hoffmann <sho@relinux.de>]

Hello,

buildroot's documentation says:
> 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:
> >>>   Executing post-build script
> >>>   Completed post-build script
> mkdir -p /home/stephan/buildroot/output/target/etc
> echo "armstonea8" > /home/stephan/buildroot/output/target/etc/hostname
> /bin/sed -i -e '$a \127.0.1.1\tarmstonea8' \
>                 -e '/^127.0.1.1/d'
> /home/stephan/buildroot/output/target/etc/hosts
> mkdir -p /home/stephan/buildroot/output/target/etc

>         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
