OE Workshop 2024 - Binary Distribution Prototype: Progress and plans
Channel: OpenEmbedded
Date: 2024-03-04

Although binary artifacts (packages, images, firmware, etc) have been part of the OpenEmbedded ecosystem for years, elements of the support are not actively tested in the core or even fully documented. To improve binary distribution support in the project; the documentation, procedures, tools and core infrastructure to support binary distributions are part of the 5 year plan for the Yocto Project.

An effort is underway to produce a prototype / reference binary distribution. This talk will present the architecture and contents of this prototype, the current status and finish with plans for when it is complete.

Discussions around any aspects of creating, distributing and supporting binary outputs from OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project are encouraged throughout the presentation.
