Anyone have any info on this?

I took some time and tried some recipes and here is what I found.

I’ve found that this works:

do_install() {
	cd ${WORKDIR}
	rm -f test
	tar czf test.tar.gz ${CONFIGFILES}
	install -m 0777 -d ${D}/etc
	install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/test.tar.gz ${D}/etc/test.tar.gz
}

which is exactly the same as:

do_install() {
	cd ${WORKDIR}
	rm -f test
	tar czf test.tar.gz ${CONFIGFILES}
	install -m 0777 -d ${D}${sysconfdir}
	install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/test.tar.gz ${D}${sysconfdir}/test.tar.gz
}

since ${sysconfdir} = “/etc”

the problem is I want to install my files on a new folder on the root file system, not in /etc. When I try to do this:

do_install() {
	cd ${WORKDIR}
	rm -f test
	tar czf test.tar.gz ${CONFIGFILES}
	install -m 0777 -d ${D}/newFolder
	install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/test.tar.gz ${D}/newFolder/test.tar.gz
}

I get this error:

dp-full-image/etc/device_table is different from the conffile in the new package. The new conffile will be placed at /home/user/Desktop/corecdp-2.3.3/build/tmp/rootfs/corecdp-full-image/etc/device_table-opkg.

can you please explain how to install my files in directories that are not /etc

thansk!
