Thanks, Richard. Clearer now but not entirely.

I used, for test although not sensible, BBMASK = "base-passwd". If I then tried building core-image-minimal it fails with "Nothing provides base-passwd". If one could use BBMASK to customize images as suggested in http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#usingpoky-extend-customimage-localconf then one would expect the package to be removed indirectly from the image. However, that does not happen, the build just fails. > > >> Its designed so that if you for example didn't care out any *gpe* > >> recipe, you could exclude them entirely and not even have the parse > >> overhead. > That use case makes sense. If I know that I don't include certain packages like *gpe* in the images I am building then I can speed up the build/parsing process by masking the recipes and therefore the regular expression syntax makes perfectly sense.
