The core-image-minimal-xfce recipe does not "play nice" with
the core-image class and is not respecting CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL.

I think this should be filed as a bug (and feel free to suggest a patch)

BTW, this question should really be on the OpenEmbedded development list.

That's not the right bug.

If the suggestion is that core-image-minimal-xfce needs to be fixed, that's not 
a bug we would track in the Yocto Project bugzilla (since the Yocto Project is 
not actively involved in maintaining meta-xfce).

Paul

Layers under meta-openembedded don't have a bug tracker that I know of. 
Honestly for something as simple as this I'd just send a patch to the 
openembedded-devel mailing list (with [meta-xfce] in the subject).

No. Its not OE-Core or yocto bug

its valid for meta-xfce only.

Maybe it's not required, but since that is the recommended way to
add packages to an image, it probably should.  As you can see from
the original question, the non-standard behaviour is confusing,
certainly to new users.  It would only take a little reorganization
to make it work as expected.

I really apreciate all the time you take to answer this mail

I would like to summarize this part and came to a final conclusion

Should I try to fix or should we leave it as it is ?
