8.1.19. do_populate_sysroot

Copies a subset of files installed by the do_install task into the sysroot in order to make them available to other recipes.

The do_populate_sysroot task is a shared state (sstate) task, which means that the task can be accelerated through sstate use. Realize also that if the task is re-executed, any previous output is removed (i.e. "cleaned").
