Philip,

Have you looked at task-core-basic, it is supposed to be more of a
desktop like set of tools, the idea being it's heavier weight than core,
will move to supporting the non-graphical part of LSB.

Another caveat for task-core-basic is that it's the largetest non-gplv3
task that is used by core-image-basic.

Does this task approach what you are looking for?

It looks like a start, but I notice it brings in rpm. I'm not sure if I
want that. I would have thought that the package manager would be a
distro decision.

That's a bug that I would certainly take a patch for, unless rpm is
required as part of LSB, that will need to be verified.

The ability to install RPM packages is required by the LSB.  The LSB does not
require RPM however.  (yes I know, odd requirement, but with things like alien
it's doable on debian systems.)

But yes, RPM is included to satisfy that requirement.

This is beginning to look like a trickier problem than I would like. Between 
oe-core and meta-angstrom, there are a number of tasks/images to start from, 
but they each have something I don't like:

1) I do not want rpm in the image. This would confuse my customer base.
2) I am tired of dropbear, I want openssh only.

fwiw 0.53 fixed most of my problems (e.g x11 forwarding), does it fix your 
issues as well?

It is more that users know openssh and sometimes have issues with dropbear. And image size is not an issue.

Philip
