9.13. Deploying Your Software on the Target Machine

Use the devtool deploy-target command to deploy the recipe's build output to the live target machine:

     $ devtool deploy-target recipe target
            

The target is the address of the target machine, which must be running an SSH server (i.e. user@hostname[:destdir]).

This command deploys all files installed during the do_install task. Furthermore, you do not need to have package management enabled within the target machine. If you do, the package manager is bypassed.

Notes

The deploy-target functionality is for development only. You should never use it to update an image that will be used in production.
