[yocto] modify a recipe file - proftpd

[Zolee K]

Hello,

I'm very new to the Yocto Project and I got a Barix module that is to be
developped with Yocto.
I managed to insert the desired programs into the linux image (nano, rsync,
mc, proftpd, vlc) by modifying a recipe file but now I'd like to make some
changes. I thought I would start with modifying the proftpd.conf file.

As I read the manuals it is clear to me that the best way to do this to
make .append files.

I created my own proftpd.conf file, modified it a bit, example I only
renamed the default server name. After that I modified the bb recipe file's
sources section this way:

SRC_URI = "ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/source/${BPN}-${PV}.tar.gz \
file://proftpd.conf \
file://basic.conf.patch \
file://proftpd-basic.init \
file://default \
file://close-RequireValidShell-check.patch \
file://contrib.patch \
file://build_fixup.patch \
file://proftpd.service \
"
The red one is a new file among the other patch files however my slight
changes will not bitbake. The proftpd is going to be in the image, but with
a its default proftpd.conf file. It looks like my config file never gets
inserted in the target.

Could you please help me out how should I start with this proftpd
customisation?

Thanks,

Zoli

so you can have sed ops to do the needed tweaks in existing conf flile
in the bbappend e.g.
do_install_append () {

sed .....
}
