- <title>Reference: Features</title>
-
- <para>'Features' provide a mechanism for working out which packages
- should be included in the generated images. Distributions can
- select which features they want to support through the
- <glossterm linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES'><link
- linkend='var-DISTRO_FEATURES'>DISTRO_FEATURES</link></glossterm>
- variable which is set in the distribution configuration file
- (poky.conf for Poky). Machine features are set in the
- <glossterm linkend='var-MACHINE_FEATURES'><link
- linkend='var-MACHINE_FEATURES'>MACHINE_FEATURES</link></glossterm>
- variable which is set in the machine configuration file and
- specifies which hardware features a given machine has.
- </para>
-
- <para>These two variables are combined to work out which kernel modules,
- utilities and other packages to include. A given distribution can
- support a selected subset of features so some machine features might not
- be included if the distribution itself doesn't support them.
