KaeilOS distribution joins OpenEmbedded

KaeilOS distribution joins OpenEmbedded

[Marco Cavallini]

Hi all.
It's official and some of you may have missed the latest patches hrw and
me have submitted, so this post may be considered the official ML
release :-)

Italian embedded software engineering KOAN, announced its main brand
KaeilOS will join OpenEmbedded (OE) project.

We at KOAN wanted to avoid waste of energy converging KOAN efforts into
a stable and solid Open Source project like OE is. In the future, KOAN
will cooperate with OpenEmbedded community and will work to
progressively reduce OE footprint and boot time with KaeilOS
distribution (with mdev instead of udev for example).
KaeilOS is already included among OpenEmbedded based distributions and
is available for download from OpenEmbedded git repository.

I hope this initiative could improve OE spread and that somone would
like to join our distribution like some of OE developers already are
doing ;-)

Cordiali Saluti / Kindest Regards / mit freundlichen Grüssen

Welcome on board!

This is an exciting moment for OpenEmbedded, we are looking forward to 
cooperating with you guys.

Regarding boot time, I have since long wanted to bring upstart into the 
platform, but I can't find time for it.

Best regards, and welcome again!

Cheers,

Will be interesting to compare upstart with sysvinit for some of our 
devices.

Absolutely. To be honest, my primary motivation is not boot time, but rather 
on-demand service activation and deativation. It feels wrong to 
call /etc/init.d/foo start|stop|restart from a resource manager, so I'd 
welcome init system support for that.

Boot time improvement will come as a consequence of this, since in OE we still 
boot our embedded systems as if they were desktop systems. All services up by 
default is wrong.
