[Buildroot] providing post-build scripts in buildroot

[Jeremy Rosen]

Hello everybody

I am currently creating a couple of post-build scripts for my own personal use that could 
be usefull for the general audience...

* copy the local id_ras.pub to the target
* generate the host key of the target during build time
* copy the target's host key to the known_host of the user

Since post-build is a new feature I was wondering if the project was opened to distributing that 
sort of scripts somewhere in the support directory ( something like support/post-build)

I don't have a strong opinion on this, but doesn't this belongs to the
documentation instead?

i'm not sure what you mean here... do you want the script mentionned
in the documentation ? in that case yes, that makes sense

do you want the script "directly included as text" in the doc ?
I am less convinced, unless you want to use them as examples rather
than tools provided by the poject....

Yes, the scripts included directly into the documentation. At the last
Buildroot meeting, we've discussed the idea of extending the
documentation with more "Use cases descriptions", i.e how to use
Buildroot in practice for a project. I think examples of what can be
done in post-build scripts who fit quite well in this.

Best regards,

Thomas
