From 12a0ee049e453b6d0d2ce2f3fa981d1b6e02bd78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2016 16:45:23 -0800 Subject: dev-manual: Added note about RPM not dealing with post-install Fixes [YOCTO #10351] I added a note to the "Post Installation Scripts" section of the "Writing a New Recipe" section to call out the fact that the RPM package manager will not install packages on the target when any RPM post-install script returns a non-zero exit code when the script is run on the target.
