Provide downloadable packages for various use-cases #90

Closed KanjiMonster closed 11 months ago

KanjiMonster commented 1 year ago

Currently any downloadable extra package is more of a side effect of Yocto recipes providing multiple packages when only one is requested to be installed.

To provide support for different use cases, we should actually provide a curated list of additional packages to install.

One possible solution would be to create packagegroups, which would be empty meta-packages with a list of runtime dependencies.

We could then define a packagegroup-bisdn-linux-extra, and build this as an additional target (or not, if you just want a quick local build).

Package groups would also enable us to define additional packagegroups for different usecases (we would need to define them though).
