Using the +POST_RSYNC+ hook
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
The +POST_RSYNC+ hook is run only for packages that use a local source,
|
||||||
|
either through the +local+ site method or the +OVERRIDE_SRCDIR+
|
||||||
|
mechanism. In this case, package sources are copied using +rsync+ from
|
||||||
|
the local location into the buildroot build directory. The +rsync+
|
||||||
|
command does not copy all files from the source directory, though.
|
||||||
|
Files belonging to a version control system, like the directories
|
||||||
|
+.git+, +.hg+, etc. are not copied. For most packages this is
|
||||||
|
sufficient, but a given package can perform additional actions using
|
||||||
|
the +POST_RSYNC+ hook.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In principle, the hook can contain any command you want. One specific
|
||||||
|
use case, though, is the intentional copying of the version control
|
||||||
|
directory using +rsync+. The +rsync+ command you use in the hook can, among
|
||||||
|
others, use the following variables:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* +$(SRCDIR)+: the path to the overridden source directory
|
||||||
|
* +$(@D)+: the path to the build directory
