Thanks,

bitbake is already running to build my recipe.
Not sure that running "bitbake -e" is OK while bitbake is already running.

IMAGE_BASENAME is set to my recipe, so I cannot use this directly.

I know I can do it inside the "some-image.bb" recipe, but I would like
to do it inside my recipe. Otherwise all images must be customized
for my recipe, which is not a good idea.

If I could do an IMAGE_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND in my recipe, then
that would be OK, but I then still need to find out what the image name is.
