New Yocto Recipe Builds but Work Directory is Deleted after Compilation - linux

Question

I am trying to update the recipe for zbar from 0.10.0 to 0.20.1. Here is the original recipe:
https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded/blob/master/meta-oe/recipes-support/zbar/zbar_0.10.bb
My modified recipe is at the bottom of this question. The package does compile, but the problem is that something happens during the "packaging" step and the "work" directory is wiped out except for the "temp" directory inside the "work" directory. During compilation, if I list the files in the work directory, everything I expect is present, but after compilation succeeds, something cleans the files up. What am I doing wrong?
During compilation:
user#ubuntu:~/rpi/build/tmp/work/cortexa7hf-neon-vfpv4-poky-linux-gnueabi/zbar/0.20.1-r0$ cd ../0.20.1-r0/ ; ls
build image pkgdata sysroot-destdir
configure.sstate license-destdir pseudo temp
debugsources.list package recipe-sysroot
git packages-split recipe-sysroot-native
After Compilation:
user#ubuntu:~/rpi/build/tmp/work/cortexa7hf-neon-vfpv4-poky-linux-gnueabi/zbar/0.20.1-r0$ cd ../0.20.1-r0/ ; ls
temp

echo "done..."
}

This is because of the rm_work class. You can remove,
INHERIT += "rm_work"
this from local.conf or in according image recipe file. Or you can disable the rm_work only for your recipe using,
RM_WORK_EXCLUDE += "zbar"
in conf/local.conf.
