Remove unnedded apps like imx-test from image build on Yocto 2.6

[dimitarmaznekov]

I'm trying to do tiny image from my build (tested and working) by removing unneeded test apps and  not used apps like nfs, crypto etc. but specialy imx-test.

Tried with IMAGE_INSTALL_remove, IMAGE_FEATURES_remove or PACKAGECONFIG_remove but without success.

When try to remove it with PACKAGE_EXCLUDE in distro.conf build failed with 

nothing provides imx-test needed by packagegroup-fsl-tools-testapps-1.0-r0.var_som_mx6

Obviuosly I should compile fiirst packagegroup and then remove it from image config.

How can effectively remove such apps unneeded in particular production image ?

Thanks for response.

The goal is to use packages (which is list of apps) but to remove particular unneeded and bigger apps from them like imx-tests

You can use the core-image-minimal and add some packages you need.
