EasyOS Kirkstone-series will continue

I posted to the forum in response to questions about this, as people are seeing work on QV and wondering if I have forgotten about EasyOS:

I have just completed a recompile in OpenEmbedded/Yocto, based on the Kirkstone 4.0.17 release. The new build is "revision-7" and all the binary packages have "-r7" in their name.

Easy 5.7 was built from OE Kirkstone release 4.0.14, and here are the version changes from then to 4.0.17:

apache2         2.4.57   2.4.58
busybox-static  1.34.1   1.36.1
cpio            2.13     2.14
dnsmasq         2.87     2.90
firefox         120.0.1  125.0.2
libstd-rs       1.73.0   1.75.0
linux-firmware  20230804 20240220
mbedtls         2.28.5 2.28.7
mdview          20160622 2023.12.12
openssl         3.0.12   3.0.13
perl            5.34.1   5.34.3

python3-jinja2  3.1.1    3.1.3
python3-pyqt5   5.15.1   5.15.7
python3-urllib3 1.26.17  1.26.18
sudo-sh         1.2      1.3
tzdata          2023c    2024a
vim             9.0.2068 9.0.2190
new: xml2       0.5

Right now, the 5.15.157 kernel is compiling. There was a hiccup with the aufs patch; fixed, see:

Easy 5.8 shouldn't be too far away. There is a small to-do list, which hopefully will take a couple of days only. That's if I don't get distracted.
