Hey, would you mind sharing your build config, along with the layers and your conf/local.conf files?

The linux-yocto kernel contains squashfs packaged as a module. You we’re welcome to:

RDEPENDS:snapd:remove = "kernel-module-squashfs"

in a bbappend.

@zyga maybe we should have a per distro append in our layer i.e:

RDEPENDS:append:poky = " kernel-module-squashfs"

Assuming folks care enough to use a different distro than poky for their custom builds.

I have a feeling that append is no longer relevant. Do we even have it in master?

EDIT: yeah, it seems we do https://github.com/snapcore/meta-snapd/blob/master/recipes-support/snapd/snapd.inc#L25

It’s here:

@mborzecki1 I think this is a good idea. I don’t have that much experience with using other Yocto distros yet. Is there something we could CI easily?

Nothing to do besides using the append with distro override.

I’ve proposed https://github.com/snapcore/meta-snapd/pull/54
