[oe] [PATCH v2] package.bbclass: copy dotfiles in root D to PKGD

[Khem Raj]

hmmm I guess I am late in responding anyway I want to request to
revert this patch as it has already been pushed.
When compiling lirc do_package hangs forever the reason is that lirc
has some files in its install tree which are named pipes
and shutils.copy* functions do not consider special functions as I see
in the documentation

http://docs.python.org/dev/library/shutil.html

 and there is this bug report

http://bugs.python.org/issue3002

which clarifies it more which means unfortunately we have to keep
using 'cp' in this case.

is revert ok ?

Thanks

-Khem
