(i posted something regarding this on the oe-core list, but i wanted to post here as well with specific examples from the yocto manuals.)
from the yocto dev manual, section 4.3.1: "The other method for creating a custom image is to modify an existing image. For example, if a developer wants to add strace into the core-image-sato image, they can use the following recipe: require core-image-sato.bb IMAGE_INSTALL += "strace" however, here's the discussion of IMAGE_INSTALL in the poky ref manual in the variables glossary: "Using IMAGE_INSTALL with the += operator from the /conf/local.conf file or from within an image recipe is not recommended as it can cause ordering issues." ... and that explanation goes on to recommend using IMAGE_INSTALL_append instead. that inconsistency should be cleared up. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
