Can anyone suggest why my BBMASK is not working?
Maybe I'm not putting it into the right file?
Did I construct the regex incorrectly?

In my conf/bblayers.conf I have,

     BBMASK .= "qemu"

Then I wipe out the cache by deleting the "tmp/" directory.

Now I would expect
    bitbake -n -c fetch qemu
to give a 'Nothing PROVIDES' error.

That is not what happens.   Instead it still completes normally.

I am trying to ignore recipes like
     meta-freescale/recipes-devtools/qemu/qemu_qoriq.bb

Thanks in advance for any help.
