I'm trying to get a fork of the pr2-grant released for our ros_ethercat package as we find it very useful. In the pr2 repo, there were some post-install rules to set the sticky bit of pr2-grant.

Is there a way to do this with catkin / bloom?

Below is the debian/postinst rule

#!/bin/sh
set -e
PKG=pr2-grant
case "$1" in
 configure)
   chown root.root /usr/bin/pr2_grant
   chmod +s /usr/bin/pr2_grant
   chown root.root /usr/bin/pr2-grant
   chmod +s /usr/bin/pr2-grant
   ;;
 *)
       echo "postinst called with unknown argument \`$1'" >&2
       exit 0
   ;;   
esac
#DEBHELPER#

Thanks in advance!

Bloom allows you to patch the generated Debian files at your will. So yes, you can add whatever post-install rule you would like.

The comfortable thing is that bloom will automatically reapply your patch for future releases.

To build on @Dirk Thomas's answer, you can add your post install rule amongst the debian folder template files and it will get copied over (unmodified) into each OS version specific branch for Ubuntu.

For example, you would add your file to this branch:

https://github.com/ros-gbp/openni2_ca...

So in this case the branch name is debian/indigo/openni2_camera, which contains the generic templates for all debian/ubuntu release targets. Then the files which end in .em in this branch get their templates expanded and copied into version specific branches, e.g. debian/indigo/trusty/openni2_camera. If you put your files into the debian/indigo/openni2_camera branch without a .em extension they will just be copied over.
