<h2><a name="adapting_rootfs" id="adapting_rootfs">Adapting the rootfs
for own binaries</h2>
<p>When using BR2 in an environment where own software binaries or
static data should be part of the generated rootfs package, the
<code>BR2_ROOTFS_POST_BUILD_SCRIPT</code> feature might interest
you. You can specify a command here which is called <i>after</i> BR2
built all the selected software, but <i>before</i> the the rootfs
packages are assembled. The destination rootfs folder is given as
first argument. You can add own components here, change
default configurations and remove unwanted files.</p>
<p>You should, however, use that feature with care. Whenever you
find that a certain package generates wrong or unneeded files, you
should rather fix than package than working around it with a
cleanup script.</p>
