You can run ./ltib --hostcf --configure and that will let you
configure what goes into the host support packages without having to
touch .host_wait_*

Be warned though that because it goes through the config system, the
dependencies for packages get evaluated, so some other packages you
didn't expect may get pulled in.

Note: with --hostcf, you can do all the normal ltib stuff, with a few
provisos.
Stuart,

If I edit config/platform/host/ltib.preconfig and comment out some
packages (like gbison, flex, git) and run "./ltib --hostcf" it doesn't
remove the packages from /opt/ltib - it does if I run "./ltib --hostcd
--configure", and only after asking me if I want to drop them.  How can
I force ltib to drop the host packages that are no longer selected (and
not have to run --configure)?

I'm trying to automate the build process to handle changes to
config/platform/host/ltib.preconfig (as I run LTIB from buildbot).


Hi Peter,

The ltib.preconfig is for the initial build (defconfig equivalent). If you use --hostcf you have to use it like the normal configuration process and run:
./ltib --hostcf -m config
and select the packages you want in the configuration.

In your case for a buildbot, provided you edit ltib.preconfig it should do what you expect on the first run (from pristine), after that you may need to do some clean-up (can't recall right now).

Regards, Stuart
