[OE-core] [PATCH] ptest: fix file ownerships in ${PTEST_PATH}

[Mike Looijmans]

Just posting a related idea here:

There are quite a few recipes that just contain a bunch of (data) files, and 
use a simple "cp -r" in the install phase. Instead of peppering these with 
"chown" calls, it might be better to create a small utility that basically 
runs the "install" command recursively, and replace the "cp -r" with 
"install_recursive".
