RDEPENDS are required and the package manager will insist they are always installed. RRECOMMENDS are optional; you can uninstall them after the fact, and you can (with some package managers at least) declare them to be BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS which will be ignored. > since now rrecommended packages will always be available and they will > always make into images. You say "now", but as far as I know it has always been thus. If it wasn't then the set of packages that get installed in the image would depend on what things you happened to have lying around in your deploy directory, which would not be a very good thing. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
