Indeed there is; assuming you are using the dora (1.5) release or newer, you can add the debug packages to BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS (since relationships between -dbg and -dev packages are RRECOMMENDS.) This should also allow you to add individual -dbg packages back in by explicitly adding them to IMAGE_INSTALL if you need to. http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
