This is correct. When at least one (binary) package is needed from a recipe, then the recipe is built, and all the resulting packages are built. So when you include packagegroup-custom-apps in your image, you request the whole packagegroup recipe to be built, which in turn will build all binary packages (hence all packagegroups and their dependencies). > > Many Thanks, > > Charlie > > > >
