dev-manual: Edits to "Examples" and "Post-Installation" sections.
Applied review comments to these sections, which are part of the
"Writing a New Recipe" section. Moved the Post-installation section
out of the examples area into its own, higher-level section as
it was not really an example. Other edits were direct result of
Paul Eggleton's review.

2148 | <para> | ||
2149 | Post-installation scripts run immediately after installing | ||
2150 | a package on the target, or during image creation when a | ||
2151 | package is included in an image. | ||
2152 | To add a post-installation script to a package, add a | ||
2153 | <filename>pkg_postinst_PACKAGENAME()</filename> function to | ||
2154 | the <filename>.bb</filename> file and use | ||
2155 | <filename>PACKAGENAME</filename> as the name of the package | ||
2156 | you want to attach to the <filename>postinst</filename> | ||
2157 | script. | ||
2158 | To apply the post-installation script to the main package | ||
2159 | for the recipe, which is usually what is required, specify | ||
2160 | <filename>${</filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PN'><filename>PN</filename></ulink><filename>}</filename> | ||
2161 | in place of <filename>PACKAGENAME</filename>. | ||
2162 | </para> | ||
2163 | |||
2164 | <para> | ||
2165 | A post-installation function has the following structure: | ||
2166 | <literallayout class='monospaced'> | ||
2167 | pkg_postinst_PACKAGENAME () { | ||
2168 | #!/bin/sh -e | ||
2169 | # Commands to carry out | ||
2170 | } | ||
2171 | </literallayout> | ||
2172 | </para> | ||
2173 | |||
2174 | <para> | ||
2175 | The script defined in the post-installation function is | ||
2176 | called when the root filesystem is created. | ||
2177 | If the script succeeds, the package is marked as installed. | ||
2178 | If the script fails, the package is marked as unpacked and | ||
2179 | the script is executed when the image boots again. | ||
2180 | </para> | ||
2181 | |||
2182 | <para> | ||
2183 | Sometimes it is necessary for the execution of a | ||
2184 | post-installation script to be delayed until the first boot. | ||
2185 | For example, the script might need to be executed on the | ||
2186 | device itself. | ||
2187 | To delay script execution until boot time, use the following | ||
2188 | structure in the post-installation script: | ||
2189 | <literallayout class='monospaced'> | ||
2190 | pkg_postinst_PACKAGENAME () { | ||
2191 | #!/bin/sh -e | ||
2192 | if [ x"$D" = "x" ]; then | ||
2193 | # Actions to carry out on the device go here | ||
2194 | else | ||
2195 | exit 1 | ||
2196 | fi | ||
2197 | } | ||
2198 | </literallayout> | ||
2199 | </para> | ||
2200 | |||
2201 | <para> | ||
2202 | The previous example delays execution until the image boots | ||
2203 | again because the | ||
2204 | <filename><ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-D'>D</ulink></filename> | ||
2205 | variable points to the directory containing the image when | ||
2206 | the root filesystem is created at build time but is unset | ||
2207 | when executed on the first boot. | ||
2208 | </para> | ||
2209 | |||
2210 | <note> | ||
2211 | Equivalent support for <filename>pre-install</filename>, | ||
2212 | <filename>pre-uninstall</filename>, and | ||
2213 | <filename>post-uninstall</filename> scripts exist | ||
2214 | by way of <filename>pkg_preinst</filename>, | ||
2215 | <filename>pkg_prerm</filename>, and | ||
2216 | <filename>pkg_postrm</filename>, respectively. | ||
2217 | These scrips work in exactly the same way as does | ||
2218 | <filename>pkg_postinst</filename> with the exception that they | ||
2219 | run at different times. | ||
2220 | Also, because of when they run, they are not applicable to | ||
2221 | being run at image creation time like | ||
2222 | <filename>pkg_postinst</filename>. | ||
