Listening to your Users: Refactoring the Yocto Project
summary
Refactors the yocto-autobuilder into a modular architecture that splits core code, build steps and configs, adds mix and match layer support and custom build steps plus custom properties, and inherits repo/branch settings for triggered builds. Uses Buildbot (upgraded) and a 10-node cluster; nightly build time drops from ~42 hours to ~6.5 hours and produces ~0.25 TB of artifacts. Prototype runs and produces images locally, is backwards-compatible in design, and needs wider testing and side-by-side rollout.
