Hello resurfacing this,

Finally setup a layer that builds multiple distro's
simultaneously. It doesn't set KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME.
Builds just fine by changing TMPDIR in each multiconfig.
Will run into issues like bellow if you don't.

ERROR: mc:liveusb-install:liveusb-install-linux-6.12.101-r0 do_packagedata:
Recipe liveusb-install-linux is trying to install files into a shared area
when those files already exist. The files and the manifests listing them are:
/../../runtime-rprovides/kernel-6.12.101-amd-tiny/kernel-base

I think if we want the kernel-XXX prefix to be the default namespace we may
need to remove KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME entirely and force user to build
in different TMPDIR's. Which I'm fine with that. I also think the original
ideal was to 1 allow a single TMPDIR to be used and 2 have better
separation between the kernels when using a package manager.
If you build 2 separate kernels, but they both have the same package
name which one would the package manager install.

To fix this I have to set KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME.

Can find layer here.

For quick setup recommend using Docker container. Link in README.

Have a branch for this patch series that I'm keeping up to date.
As well as supporting branches.

May be found here.

Lastly, the above setup doesn't fix bug 11905. So, working on that now.
