See chapter 4 of the dev manual (

Thanks, Richard. Clearer now but not entirely.
BBMASK removes recipes from being parsed. It does not
remove them from
images although that would I guess be an indirect result
since you could
no longer build them.
Yes, it removes it from being parsed. I used, for test although not
sensible, BBMASK = base-passwd. If I then tried building
core-image-minimal it fails with Nothing provides base-passwd. If
one could use BBMASK to customize images as suggested
in
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#usingpoky-extend-customimage-localconfthen
one would expect the package to be removed indirectly from the image.
However, that does not happen, the build just fails.
I hadn't realised Scott had added this to the customising images section
of the manual. This is not what its designed for and we need to move
this to somewhere less confusing.
Scott: This is going to need to move somewhere else in the manual as
this is confusing. I'm going to suggest a 4.12 section Other tips and
tricks which says:
Sometimes there are groups of recipes you might wish to filter out. If
there were recipes you know you're never going to want/use, removing
them from parsing would speed up parts of the build for example.
It is possible to filter or mask out both .bb and .bbappend files. You
can do this by providing an expression with the BBMASK variable. Here is
an example:
BBMASK = .*/meta-mymachine/recipes-maybe/
Here, all .bb and .bbappend files in the directory that matches the
expression are ignored during the build process.
Cheers,
Richard
