[yocto] Question: How to install the mkfs tools from the e2fsprogs instead of the BusyBox tools.

[Elad Yosef]

Hi,
I have created my own image based in existing one.

****************************************************************
IMAGE_INSTALL = "task-core-boot ${ROOTFS_PKGMANAGE_BOOTSTRAP} u-boot"

#My additions to the File-System
IMAGE_INSTALL += "e2fsprogs iptables"
IMAGE_LINGUAS = " "
inherit core-image
LICENSE = "MIT"
IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE = "8192"
# remove not needed ipkg informations
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "remove_packaging_data_files ; "
IMAGE_FSTYPES ?= "tar.gz ext2.gz.u-boot"
******************************************************************

After building the File system I see that the mksf.ext2 point to the BusyBox.
I checked the build log file and saw the following:

What am I missing here?
