I've changed the subject heading to make it more specific to our problem.  Hopefully this generates some responses.


It has been blocking us for close to one week now.  We want to use our 3rd party vendor openssl, not the one that comes with the source.  Apparently, even with "minimal" instead of "base" or "sato" cannot exclude it.


Any idea [e.g. how do we systematically find out how it's included now, and possibly what other packages/recipes we may also need to remove due to dependency]?


Thanks,

Raymond

Subject: How to remove a package from a build
 

We've our own non-yocto openssl that we want to use.  At the moment, we're using "sato" image, rather than "minimal" and includes its openssl that is out-of-date.  What is the best way to exclude it from our image (and from sysroots)?


We have thought about two ideas -


  1. Use smaller image like core-image-base, or core-image-full-cmdline (but not -minimal that may remove too much functionality).
  2. Use INSTALL_IMAGE_remove += " openssl"

Would either one work?  Also, how do I follow the .bb files etc (e.g. starting from the one for sato) to trace down which sub-package includes openssl?


Thanks,

Raymond
