Subject: [Buildroot] About Buildroot

Message-ID: <20120321181741.41b819d5@skate> (raw)

Hello,

Luca de Marchi, the maintainer of kmod, talks about Buildroot in
http://www.politreco.com/2012/03/elc-2012/:

"""
Following his keynote I went to see Thomas Petazzoni from Free
Electrons talk about Buildroot. I like Buildroot?s simplicity and from
what Thomas said this is one thing they care about: Buildroot is a
rootfs generator and not a meta-distro like openembedded. There were at
least 3 people asking if Buildroot could support binary packages and he
emphasized that it was a design decision not to support them. I like
this: use the right tool for the each job. I already used Buildroot
before to create a rootfs using uClibc and it was great to see that it
was already packaging the last version of kmod before I went to ELC.
"""

Thomas
