For example, the sensorsdetect and pwmconfig tools are only needed to produce configuration files for libsensors and fancontrol (resp.). Once the system is configured, they can be removed. I followed the idea from the original lmsensors recipe from oe. What should the recipe actually install when bitbaking only the "main" package? The main lmsensors library? Everything? Regards, Marc
