[yocto] stupid question about post-installation scripts

[Bryan Evenson]

Robert,

That's how it works in my experience.  I have some packages for my system that have a postinst piece that needs to run during image creation, and other pieces that need to run only on a package upgrade.  By checking whether "x${D}" = "${D}", I am filtering out whether the postinst script is running during image creation or on the actual hardware.  Been working great so far.
