807 packages compiled in OpenEmbedded for EasyOS

This morning I posted about doing a rebuild in OpenEmbedded:

https://bkhome.org/news/202108/openembedded-dunfell-updated-rebuild.html

...the build is happening in a USB3 HDD and is still going. There is a progress indicator stating 92% complete.

I mentioned that some packages have version bumps. For anyone who is interested, I am compiling 807 packages in OE, here they are:

Slackware has about 1500 packages, some more in the SalixOS repository. I think that I read recently that OpenSUSE has about 15,000 packages, though don't know if they split the original package into smaller ones -- which most distros do.

I have to weigh up the advantage of having my own small repository, or go for the convenience of a ready-made larger repository. The latter can be very frustrating, having to conform to the decisions made by that distro's developers. Compared with packages that I have compiled, that I know how they behave and have only the dependencies needed.

I have pretty much decided that the OE built packages will be the future of EasyOS.

Right now, only one package still compiling in OE, libreoffice. Fingers crossed, as it is a new version. After the build completes, I might have a go at compiling 'qt5' in OE, and some qt5 apps.

EDIT:
Successful build. Have uploaded the OE Dunfell project tarball, 'dunfell-20210826.tar.gz' (129MB):

http://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/project/oe/dunfell/

It is bigger than previous tarballs, as have included source packages that libreoffice requires when it compiles.
