Well, I don't really think --depth is meant to avoid infinite recursion: I don't think it's possible to have infinite recursion since we can't have cyclic dependencies in Buildroot. > But at this time, we haven't found the good way (or the good use > cases) to limit the size of the graph. I believe being able to exclude certain packages (and their dependency tree) would be useful.
