Description Mark Hatle 2016-02-08 17:42:02 UTC 
In order to reduce the size of the generated SDK, I'm trying to disable the inclusion of the *-dbg packages into the build.

I set the switch, in my local.conf, to:

SDKIMAGE_FEATURES = "dev-pkgs"

This eliminated most of the debug binaries and sources, except for the core glibc/libgcc pieces.

Those pieces are being added by:

TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK ?= " \
    ${@multilib_pkg_extend(d, 'packagegroup-core-standalone-sdk-target')} \
    ${@multilib_pkg_extend(d, 'packagegroup-core-standalone-sdk-target-dbg')} \
    "

It would be nice if the second entry was conditional on dbg-pkgs being in the SDKIMAGE_FEATURES.

Turns out we can just rely on the complementary packages logic to pull in the right bits if required, so this was a trivial fix.
