=== excerpt
# IMAGE_FEATURES control content of the core reference images
#
# By default we install task-core-boot and task-base packages - this gives us
# working (console only) rootfs.
#
# Available IMAGE_FEATURES:
... snip ...
CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL = '\
task-core-boot \
task-base-extended \
\
${CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL} \
'
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL ?= ""
IMAGE_INSTALL ?= "${CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL}"
=== excerpt
first, the early comment refers to "task-base" when what's included
is actually "task-base-extended". (perhaps it's worth adding a
pointer to where one can read the definition of that task as well?)
and second, the early comment claims that "IMAGE_FEATURES" controls
the content of the core reference images but says nothing about the
user having control with CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL as well. and
there's no mention of EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES anywhere there, either.
all in all, that's kind of a confusing file to RTFS.
