           Summary: Add ability to create image consisting of exact package
                    list (by not pulling up any dependencies)
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build
        AssignedTo: openembedded-issues at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: pmiscml at gmail.com
         QAContact: tinderbox-oe at gmx.net


Scenario: I want to create an initrd which will load modules required to mount
rootfs. So, I'd like to put kernel-module-xxx, busybox, and uclibc into the
image, nothing else. But kernel-module-xxx depends on kernel-image-x.y, which
of course good for production package-managed sytem, but superfluous for initrd
in questions.

Solution: introduce a flag which will make sure that exact packages in
PACKAGE_INSTALL and no dependencies are put into the image. For consistency,
proposed var name is PACKAGE_INSTALL_NO_DEPS. Attached is implementation of it
for rootfs_ipk.bbclass
