To: yw.byun, openembedded-core
I can guess why you're dong this. The 'install' command overrides your
custom '/usr/bin' perms setting, right?
Please add more details in the commit message.
Another concern is about the ':append'. Could you please explain what
problem would be without using ':append'?
Regards,
Qi

Modifying FILESYSTEM_PERMS_TABLES does not change the UID and GID of
/usr/bin.
To change the UID and GID of /usr/bin in FILESYSTEM_PERMS_TABLES to
something other than root:root, we need to modify
the create_merged_usr_symlinks function.
The ":append" method allows us to apply changes inserted in the middle
by applying the create_merged_usr_symlinks function at the end of
the execution order.

Hi Yangwoo,
Thanks for your patch.
It looks like some image tests are broken by this patch. We get the
following error on the autobuilder:

This can be reproduced adding `IMAGE_CLASSES += "testimage"` to your
configuration with qemux86 or qemuarm64 MACHINE and poky-altcfg DISTRO.
Then just `bitbake core-image-full-cmdline && bitbake
core-image-full-cmdline:do_testimage` should be enough.
Can you have a look at the issue?
Thanks,
Mathieu
