Bug Description

From the PES team, we would like all click apps to be on the custom tarball rather than in the rootfs. This gives more control over what apps are installed, and allows us to free up some space on the rootfs (as we've already allocated a certain amount of space for /custom, so while moving apps to /custom won't change the overall disk space usage, it changes the free space in the rootfs itself, by instead taking up space in /custom.

we should just remove shorts for rtm as it is the main issue here.

for RTM, we only are removing shorts from rootfs, no other changes needed

there are no click packages in the rootfs anymore, they get split out into a generic custom tarball at build time since beginning of Oct.

@ogra

There are still those ones I listed in the rootfs, not all of the clicks were removed. Though I agree that just removing shorts is adequate for RTM

That is not correct. We only split out the click packages from the rootfs
that it was agreed we would split out. There are several click packages
which we were *not* told needed to be split out, and they haven't been.

Victor, remove shorts as in remove entirely or just remove from rootfs and add to custom tarball? (just making sure)

please make also sure to talk to CI before removing click packages, if they can not remove the test for the respective package this causes bad test results in image testing.
