I have now done a little testing with Yocto Project 1.1. It works OK though it is slow to build the default configuration (because it is building so much - including an X11 GUI for the embedded device!). The developers do seem to have thought about customization of the toolchain and support add-on "layers" which can be managed separately from the underlying build system. This means that updates can be integrated easily - we would not need to fork the Yocto Project tools but would develop and maintain an add-on "layer". It does seem possible to use it from a CLI terminal - the command "bitbake" (equivalent of our buildtool/buildpacket/buildimage) runs from the command line and can build anything from a single Package to a whole Image. See also http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.1/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html#platdev-appdev Switching to this would be big change though. dMb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list leaf-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
