Basically it works like this: Thanks a lot for that - a good insight into the workings of oe and bitbake. I was hoping there would be an easier way to configure/change this to what I want, but I see that it is much more complex than I thought initially. > I have a spreadsheet (OpenOffice 17k, or Excel 81k) that lists all of > the current breakdowns. If you are interested send me an email off list. I am interested (excel would be nice, thanks), but don't know your email address (all I get when responding to 'all' is the mailing list email address) - if you know mine, you could send me that and I'll have a look. I take it there isn't an easy way to see the hierarchy of all packages/dependencies involved in a particular image, is it (your spreadsheet may be good, but I suppose it is static and reflects just a current snapshot of a given packages/dependencies and that might change)? If all else fails, I might use ipkg on the target system to uninstall the packages I don't need and install new ones - not ideal by any means, but this is what I'll do only as a last resort, if all else fails. Thanks again for the thorough response!
