Hi Andrew, At the buildroot developer meeting we decided to drop this patch. For your particular use case, there is a better way to do it with _PERMISSIONS or with the device table. We also discussed other use cases, like doing an rsync inside the fakeroot, but these use cases can just untar the tarball in a post-image script and work on that. And finally, having all these different POST_xxx steps makes things confusing. If you still see a reason to add this feature, don't hesitate to tell us.
