Subject: [ptxdist] How to create "hotfix" packages

Hello all,

For a ptxdist BSP I am managing I need to create a "hotfix" package to
patch a number of files on already deployed devices.

This package will only be used on devices which are already deployed, and
its files should not be part of the rootfs images if the platform is
rebuilt. Is it possible to have ptxdist build an .ipk package that will not
be included in the filesystem images ?

I was hoping that marking the package as "M" in ptxdist menuconfig would do
the trick :) but that doesn't do what I thought.

Thank you,

Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia
