I'm working with a Yocto build and I'm trying to trim some fat off of it. From my board-vendor-included layers include a chromium recipe. I have no interest in using Chromium in our final image, and I've been trying to cut it out of the image. So far, in my local.conf, I've tried the following:
IMAGE_INSTALL_remove += "chromium-browser"
IMAGE_INSTALL_remove += "chromium-wayland"
IMAGE_INSTALL_remove += "chromium"
PACKAGE_EXCLUDE = "chromium chromium-wayland chromium-browser"
And I have not had any success. Every time I go back to build the image, chromium-wayland has attempted to compile.
Are there any other options to remove a package from an image? Should I delete my directory of built packages and start over with these settings?
you have completely override the remove command with +=; Please try this instead
IMAGE_INSTALL_remove = " package package package "
PACKAGE_EXCLUDE shall not be neccessary
For newer versions from kirkstone or above you should use IMAGE_INSTALL:remove instead of IMAGE_INSTALL_remove
