[yocto] Best way to remove DISTRO_FEATURES?
Hi I have a small custom image based on the core-image-minimal. Due to some DISTRO features (3g, nfc, a.o.) I get useless packages included (ofono, neard). What is the best way to remove them? Can the distro content be changed? Or would I need to build my own distro? (Which would be not so easy looking at the complex poky.conf configuration files...) Thanks Michael -- ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
Re: [yocto] Best way to remove DISTRO_FEATURES?
Depending on your situation. If it is a one time yob you can do: DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = x in your local.conf -- ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
Re: [yocto] Best way to remove DISTRO_FEATURES?
Well, no, not a one-time job. So I rather added DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = 3g bluetooth irda nfc zeroconf x11 wayland to my image.bb file. Guess, this is then the recommended way to go?

(Which would be not so easy looking at the complex poky.conf configuration files...) The quick solution is DISTRO_FEATURES_remove=nfc 3g in local.conf. For most non-trivial uses of Yocto you'll want your own distro anyway, but you can either copy poky.conf or include poky.conf from your own distro.conf and then use DISTRO_FEATURES_remove.

Actually, it is not 100% clear to me what the difference and the interaction of distro and image is. What I need is several (slightly to strongly) different images for my system. Some are for testing only (include some debug apps), some are for production purposes, some are used as initramfs (very minimal). So, I should build my own distro, include poky.conf and add the DISTRO_FEATURES_remove there?

Re: [yocto] Best way to remove DISTRO_FEATURES?
Ok, thanks, did this: made new file meta-mylayer/conf/distro/mydistro.conf: include poky.conf DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = 3g bluetooth irda nfc zeroconf x11 wayland Then changed conf/local.conf: DISTRO ?= mydistro Then started a bitbake. Got a strange error LCONF_VERSION is 6, should be 5 in bblayers.conf. So I changed it to 5. Then bitbake works, but it seems to recompile ALL packages?! Is this correct. (I stopped it as it will take half a day to finish). Thanks again for your help!

Re: [yocto] Best way to remove DISTRO_FEATURES?
Probably solved. It should be include conf/distro/poky.conf instead of include poky.conf. (Stupid newbie error). Now bblayers.conf has been automatically updated to 6 again and the system only recompiles a few packages. Should be finished in 10 min or so. :-) Am 14.05.2014 16:35, schrieb Neuer User: Am 14.05.2014 16:27, schrieb Burton, Ross: On 14 May 2014 15:22, Neuer User auslands...@gmx.de wrote: Then started a bitbake.

Well, there's some logic to avoid rebuilds if the distro features change in a way that the recipe *can't* change, but changing the distro name impacts *everything*.
