[yocto] Package inclusion

[Carlos Sánchez de La Lama]

Hi all,

I have some doubts on how package inclusion in images is determined. For
example, when building core-image-base, I would say that both

kernel-module-uvesafb
kernel-module-input

are recommended (through RRECOMENDS in packagegroup-base).

However, -uvesafb makes it to the final image, whereas -input does not.
I double-checked on the running system under QEMU *and* reading the
image manifest at
tmp/deploy/images/qemux86/core-image-base-qemux86.manifest

I must be missing something. Can someone give me a pointer?

Thanks a lot, BR

Carlos
