PACKAGE_EXCLUDE = " libpcre"

 or

PACKAGECONFIG_remove = "libpcre"

i still see the library for "pcre" in root file system of sdcard. nothing works.

Did you find a way to remove alsa-conf at the end?

Hello

My requirement -- was to Remove the package alsa from the Yocto Build. So

I just tried to Remove the ALSA Packages from the Yocto Build.

I followed same procedure as you stated 

1. MACHINE_FEATURES_remove = "alsa" on your machine.conf

2. poky.conf, used DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "alsa". 

But it removed some of the alsa packages in rootfs looks good, these alsa-lib, alsa-conf still exists in the tmp/deploy/licenses/machine/licence.manifest file

Can any one suggest me the way to Remove that from Yocto Build.
