[oe] List of dependent packages

[Joaquim Duran]

Hello,

Thanks for your answer. This is closer that I was looking for.

I've tested both options (--dry-run) and (--graphviz).

Using the first one with bootstrap image, the following output has been 
shown (it shown that several packages should be used and I should choose 
one):

OE Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION     = "1.6.1"
OE_REVISION    = "57f56983ed32783fae7cfa0440e1f3a7cfc2280c"
TARGET_ARCH    = "arm"
TARGET_OS      = "linux"
MACHINE        = "colibri"
DISTRO         = "colibrioe"
DISTRO_VERSION = "1.0"
TARGET_FPU     = ""

NOTE: multiple providers are available (task-bootstrap-unionroot, 
task-bootstrap);
NOTE: consider defining PREFERRED_PROVIDER_task-bootstrap
NOTE: package bootstrap-image-1.0: started
NOTE: package bootstrap-image-1.0: completed
NOTE: build 200609261620: completed


The simple question is: how can I define 
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_task-bootstrap line the local.conf file?


The execution of the second option has finished with an error of 
bitbake. I'll send the error to bitbake page.


Thanks and Best Regards,
Joaquim Duran
