Dear Samuel Martin,

Huh? I guess you should have a look at the BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE
option then. It is precisely meant to allow that: set file permissions.

I know the name of the option is not really appropriate (we kept it as
is for backward compatibility reasons), but the prompt and description
are pretty clear:

config BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE
        string "Path to the permission tables"
        default "system/device_table.txt"
        help
          Specify a space-separated list of permission table locations,
          that will be passed to the makedevs utility to assign
          correct owners and permissions on various files in the
          target filesystem.

          See package/makedevs/README for details on the usage and
          syntax of these files.

Best regards,

Thomas
