Re: how to remove a package from image

was able to modify the vendor's machine/inc file to remove the
offending package.
Since the whole tree is in git now, I suppose that's OK, but I do wish
yocto had better tools for managing inclusions and introspection into
what is in an image and at what level it's defined.

You need to modify the image recipe so that those packagegroups are not
pulled in. If you cannot do that because it's in a layer controlled by
someone else etc, then make a new image recipe, and build that image
instead.

My vendor finally realized that I needed a full yocto release and not
the eSDK. Anyway, I can build their image, but when I modify the
kernel to remove CAN drivers I get the errors that

packagegroup-can-support
packagegroup-ow-support

are required.

What is the "yocto way" to remove those packages and dependencies
from the build?
