Along these lines, I've tried putting in something like
80_mystuff, where I want to set some configurations options for
various packages that depend on the hardware they're running on.
However, the uci-defaults files are run in alphabetical order, so
while 80_mystuff might come after the 01_leds, 02_network stuff
from core OpenWrt, the uci-defaults files from packages normally
don't seem to have a numerical prefix. This then means that my
80_mystuff script tries to set a config option in a file that
doesn't exist yet.

Now, yes, I can have my 80_mystuff script go and try and create
the package config files it might want to modify, but really, I
want "mystuff" to run _last_ or at least, after all the packages
have run. Is there any better system for this other than just
naming my script zzzzz_mystuff instead of 80_mystuff? Is that
expected to be "good enough" ?

I'm trying this, because I've _been_ trying to use packages
instead of modifying upstream, but when I want my package to do
different things for different targets, it's seemed easier to
hook into the existing target code, rather than trying to copy
target detection and config into a package Config.in options

Sincerely,
Karl Palsson
