[yocto] How to remove openssl from sysroots

[Raymond Yeung]

We have a shell script that builds openssl.  It uses the native makefiles from the open source project.  There's no  recipe.  I suppose we define a recipe for this out-of-tree sources.


Still, if we could yank out embedded openssl easily, that would be the best.

Presumably you've a recipe for the vendor openssl.  If it has the same
name but is a different version then just set PREFERRED_VERSION.  If
it has a different name too, it should PROVIDE openssl and you can
just set PREFERRED_PROVIDER.

If it doesn't do either of those things, then it is broken.
