There should be simple way to update image, when changing external fs skeleton.
If you make changes in external fs skeleton, you don't need full OS rebuild,
just some repacking. But there is no obvious way to do it.

On a few of our projects, we made added a "refresh" target that did:
- rm -fv $(BUILD_DIR)/.root $(BUILD_DIR)/*/.stamp_target_installed
- force the target skeleton copy done when making the "$(BUILD_DIR)/.root"
target
+ this copied all the skeleton files
- normal make
+ this re-installed everything ... in case a selected custom package
installed a file on top of a default file living in the skeleton.
We used this feature quite often, since target skeleton was part of
what was updated from time to time as part of project development.

This is an enhancement request, not a bug.
For the moment, the recommended method is to use a post-build script that
modifies the target filesystem, rather than making changes to the root
filesystem skeleton. The post-build script is executed at every make
invocation, so it is much, much easier to use that the root filesystem skeleton
mechanism.

I would like to propose to close this bug as wontfix, as we have other
mechanisms in place to achieve the same goal... Do others agree?

Other buildroot developers agree that this patch is very project specific and
should not be applied to mainline buildroot.
Please consider using a post-build script or rootfs overlay to achieve the same
effect (instead of changing files directly in the (custom) skeleton). See the
buildroot manual for more information:
