OpenEmbedded/Yocto Scarthgap, varion 5.0, was released early in May. This is LTS, supported until April 2028:

Here are the release notes for 5.0:

https://docs.yoctoproject.org/next/migration-guides/release-notes-5.0.html

I have completed a build. It took a few days. Most importantly, Chromium compiled -- version 122.0.6261.128.

My OE build system has over 240 package build recipes created by me. These are packages not officially supported by OE/Yocto. Many needed to be fixed, and some failed and I bypassed them -- to be fixed later.

Many of these custom recipes, I also need to update the versions. This is going to take awhile.

A major package that failed is LibreOffice. I am hoping that the OE meta-office maintainer will get onto updating it soon for Scarthgap. If he doesn't I can probably compile it in a running Scarthgap-based EasyOS, rather than in OE.

Anyway, it is looking good. My OE project name is "oe-qky-scarthgap", not yet uploaded to github.
