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.
