Meta-quirky Kirkstone git repository created

December 20, 2022 — BarryK

Previous blog post reported success compiling 1,620 packages:

This is based on the Kirkstone 4.0 release of OpenEmbedded/Yocto, iteration 4.0.5.

As reported, it took four 24-hour days and three hours, a long time, but more experimenting is planned to reduce that.

Anyway, won't have to do a complete recompile for awhile. If any individual package needs to be recompiled, or a new package added, it can be done without a complete recompile.

Have done an initial commit at github.com, name of repository is "oe-qky-kirkstone":

Expect some refining in the near future.
