[OE-core] [PATCH 0/5] Postinstall improvements

[Laurentiu Palcu]

Hi,

This is the former RFC that was on the mailing list a couple of months ago.
Hopefully, this time the patches will make it in since last time the release
was to close to have these changes in.

So, the main improvement this patchset brings is running the icon cache
generation on host, at rootfs time, after all packages have been installed. This
will cut off a lot from the target's first boot time. Also, postinstalls for
gconf and gdk-pixbuf were also changed to run on host at rootfs time.

With these changes, just a handful of packages will need to run the postinstalls
on target (did the tests with core-image-sato). I prefer to approach the
remaining packages one by one.

My preliminary tests show no issues but, since there are lots of setups out there,
testing is always welcomed. Andreas, I know you have such a setup, could you take
these patches for a spin if you find some time?

Thanks,
Laurentiu
