Asking for cli build in conf file is a bit obtuse.

[dkebler]

I wanted to build the cli version but didn't see an obvious way to do that with conf variables and the docs don't illuminate that choice.

 

so I tried

BUILD_MINIMAL=no

BUILD_DESKTOP=no

 

and that seems to do force the cli version.

 

Just suggesting that this might be easier to grok if the variable was say

BUILD_TYPE=(desktop|cli|minimal|custom)  with maybe default cli

 

where custom might be a rootfs that is custom (like one I put together) and thus doesn't need to be reconstructed from the custom-image script.  Maybe setting custom then RELEASE could hold the path to the tarball?

 

If that seems better maybe I can try making a pr?

 

BTW this is not necessarily a beginner topic but didn't see a category for just generic building discussion.
