[yocto] Building single package as image, respecting dependencies

[Norman Stetter]

Hello Paul,

thank you for your suggestion. I will look into it.

Meanwhile I worked around my issue by building all python3 packages, but excluding them from the rootfs. Then they get installed into a separate 'rootfs', which I pack as a squashfs image.

It might not be that elegant, but it works.

Regards,

NOrman
