In my understanding the only problem with the OE based environment is that you need to build everything yourself, instead of being able to use a precompiled OE/OpenMoko environment, and (re)build only the developed application. I found an initiative in the OpenEmbedded Wiki http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/PackagedStaging, but Koen told me that the current focus shifted towards making the toolchain packageable first and worrying about the staging later. Are these initiatives related in any way?
