[yocto] How to install only a subset of the packages listed in a packagegroup?

[Roberto]

Hi,

 

I have written the following packagegroup called packagegroup-amatek.bb for
testing purposes :

 

# Copyright (C) 2012-2013 Freescale Semiconductor

# Released under the MIT license (see COPYING.MIT for the terms)

 

DESCRIPTION = "Example package group"

LICENSE = "MIT"

LIC_FILES_CHKSUM =
"file://${COREBASE}/LICENSE;md5=3f40d7994397109285ec7b81fdeb3b58 \

 
file://${COREBASE}/meta/COPYING.MIT;md5=3da9cfbcb788c80a0384361b4de20420"

 

PR = "r5"

 

inherit packagegroup

 

PROVIDES = "${PACKAGES}"

PACKAGES += " \

   ${PN}-package1 \

    ${PN}-package2 \

"

 

 

RDEPENDS_${PN}-package1 = " \

   package1-depend1 \

"

 

RDEPENDS_${PN}-package2 = " \

   package2-depend2 \

"

 

 

PACKAGE_ARCH = "${MACHINE_ARCH}"

 

If in my custom image file (amatek-image) I include only
packagegroup-amatek-package1:

 

IMAGE_INSTALL = "packagegroup-amatek-package1"

 

I would expect that package2-depend2 is not installed because it is a
dependency of the package packagegroup-amatek-package2 which is not
installed.

 

However, bitbake amatek-image -g -u depexp shows that package2-depend2 is
installed as well:

Is this the expected behaviour?

Roberto
