[oe] How to exclude a package from a rootfs?

[Charles Manning]

I'm building a customised rootfs somewhat similar to omap3-console-image.

Various dependencies cause the inclusion of /boot/uImage* which is not
required in the rootfs, so I want to exclude it.

I tried using BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS = "kernel-image-" but that did not work.
The log shows that it identified the right package suring the
BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS processing in rootfs-ipk.bbclass but the file is
still in the output rootfs.


Any other hints?

Thanks
