[yocto] Finding/Generating Rootfs Package List

[Jon Szymaniak]

Ross and Martin -- thanks for your quick responses.

I failed to mention that I wanted both the ${PV} and ${PR} for packages, so
unfortunately the *-pkgs.txt files won't suffice.

Is there a particular reason why these files don't contain this
information? I haven't looked into where these are generated, but would
including ${PV} and ${PR} in these be a welcome patch?

Looking at the buildhistory wiki page [1], I see this certainly provides
what I need, and a whole lot more.

Thanks again,
Jon
