Does Ross have a copy of the skeleton or someone else as I would

like to take a look at it. Don't think I will be much help writing it as

I'm not too familiar with bitbake recipes or classes themselves.
Fixing devupstream.bbclass (already integrated into oe-core) to also 
extend native recipes is a non-trivial engineering effort sadly.

Greetings All,

time doing it and other things with the project it would be great to

on testing gcc/llvm upstream with Yocto. Granted there is a testsuite
for both but it

would be great to also test it against a build system that builds real
world software.

Furthermore I'm aware that this is done for Yocto toolchain selection
internally but it

would be great if we can start collaborating on testing upstream
toolchains if

possible.

Not sure if that's done already so sorry for the noise if it is,

I think its a good idea. Currently, we test released versions mostly,
however, there is
a class to switch to git versions and primarily be able to use tip of
