[yocto] image inheritance problem

[Martin Townsend]

Hi,

I have an image say

my-image-minimal.bb in one layer and and append this
(my-image-minimal.bbappend) in another layer.  In this append I'm adding
IMAGE_INSTALL += "kernel-modules"
for example.

Now if I run
bitbake my-image-minimal -e | grep ^IMAGE_INSTALL
I see kernel-modules

So bbappend is working, now I have another image

my-image which has
requires /core/images/my-image-minimal.bb
...

But kernel-modules is not appearing in this image and
bitbake my-image -e | grep ^IMAGE_INSTALL

confirms this.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong, I assume bitbake supports this.

I'm using the Krogoth release.

Many Thanks in advance,
Martin.
