samba minimal smbclient

samba minimal smbclient

[Craig McQueen]

I'd like to use smbclient in a project, with minimal functionality (just to copy files onto a Windows machine). But the samba package adds something like 10 MB to the project. Is it possible to get a cut-down smbclient-only package?

Previously I was using Yocto morty, and I managed to cut the samba package down quite a bit with a suitable bbappend. Now I'm trying to move to Yocto rocko or sumo, and finding my previous methods don't work so well, so it's increasing my project image size by 8 or 9 MB.

I think you should check the packageconfigs and secondly check the runtime
dependencies which are now new as compared to older version I think
trimming it via a bbappend is a good approach
