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

Hello,

buildroot's documentation says:

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:

> mkdir -p /home/stephan/buildroot/output/target/etc

Is this a bug or a feature? I'd prefer having the script called after
the target directory is completely set up.

Kind regards

I would call it a bug. I recently fixed up a similar issue with the
passwd handling happening after the post-build script.

Care to send a patch to fix it?

I can try, but at the moment I am too busy. Maybe somewhere next week.

This seems to be fixed in the meantime. I had this problem a
distribution based on 2012.08.

Sorry, I should have tried with the latest version before bothering the
list.

Kind regards
