Hello Alex, thank you for the quick response! But my problem is, that I have ptxdist 2014.01.0 based targets in the field which I want to remote update with ther existing busybox tar and the root.tgz file. In the meantime I have found the problem: it is the --label option. (Jon Ringle: image: Create root.tgz with label 0c30fd38e32126e6b1624a4acdc4a1efcd88c09c) I tried to copy the old rules/post/image_tgz.make file into my local rules directory to override the new one, but then I get the following warnings and the new rule inside ptxdist is still used: /usr/local/lib/ptxdist-2014.02.0/rules/post/image_tgz.make:15: warning: overriding commands for target `/home/user/bsp/platform-bsp/images/root.tgz' /home/user/bsp/rules/image_tgz.make:15: warning: ignoring old commands for target `/home/user/bsp/platform-bsp/images/root.tgz' Is there a way to override that rule locally in my bsp?
