newsOpenEmbedded Scarthgap revision-4 compile
This is a complete recompile in my fork of OpenEmbedded/Yocto of the packages used to build EasyOS Scarthgap-series. This is based upon OE/Yocto release 5.0.6:
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Releases
Which I have named "revision-4", and all the binary packages have "-r4" in their name, for example "acpid-2.0.34-r4-nocona-64.tar.xz". The current release of EasyOS, 6.5.6, is built with "revision-3" build in OE, which is based on the Yocto 5.0.4 release. Here are the package version changes r3 to r4:

Chromium needs special mention, as we were stuck, the Chromium developers upped the minimum required rust version from 1.75 to 1.80. The OE/Yocto Scarthgap release only has the former. The guys though, have a way around this, with something called a "meta-lts-mixins" layer, see here:
https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-lts-mixins
...what that means practically, is that this has backported rust 1.80.1 to Scarthgap. See my post here:
