Another variable that seems to be dropped from the latest 1.1.1 revision of the Reference Manual is BBMASK. In previous versions of the manual it was explained that this variable can be used to remove packages from images. However, that did not work for me and it did not surprise me either.
To include a package with an image you will have to make it a dependency of that image. If you then hide the recipe of the package using BBMASK then you are breaking the dependency and the Bitbake will complain with "Nothing provides <package>" because the dependency is still there. I could not think of any other use case for BBMASK in the way it is implemented. Are there any? Rudi
