Hi Alex,

You only need to ensure that "package-management" is present in 
IMAGE_FEATURES. You can do this from local.conf by adding the following to it:

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "package-management"

This will ensure the package manager's database (RPM if you've selected RPM 
packaging) is preserved, but won't set up any sample feeds. The latter would 
need to be done manually or via ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND.

Cheers,
Paul
