Hi!

We have the need to modify some fonts at Yocto build time. So, I created a =
recipe for [fonttools python module](https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools=
) on which our recipe `DEPENDS`. The goal is to have the font tools availab=
le at build time of our recipe by populating to `recipe-sysroot-native`. Ou=
r recipe depends on fonttools like this:

```
DEPENDS =3D+ "fonttools-native"
```

And the fonttools recipe looks like this:

```
LICENSE =3D "MIT"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM =3D "file://LICENSE;md5=3D211c9e4671bde3881351f22a2901f692=
"

PV =3D "4.63.0"

SRC_URI =3D "git://github.com/fonttools/fonttools.git;protocol=3Dhttps;bran=
ch=3Dmain"
SRCREV =3D "7fc2aa089b1bdc0d03157de2423e9b6681d22c20"

S =3D "${WORKDIR}/git"

inherit setuptools3

BBCLASSEXTEND =3D "native"

do_install:append() {
    install -d ${D}${bindir}
    for PYFILE in ${S}/Snippets/*.py
    do
        install -m 0755 ${PYFILE} ${D}${bindir}
    done
}
```
The problem is that nothing gets populated to `recipe-sysroot-native` when =
our receipe gets build. But the font tools package gets perfectly build sta=
nd alone.

So the question is what tasks are called when doing populate sysroot native=
. Where does the populate-sysroot-native task gets the files from? I had a =
look at `${SYSROOT_DIRS_NATIVE}` and `${D}${bindir}` is one of the folders.=
 So, at least the files I added via `do_install:append()` should be availab=
le in `recipe-sysroot-native`.

Can please someone shine some light on this?

Thanks in advance.
