Fetching, Configuring and Building Your Bitbake Project with Just One Command
summary
kas (v4.0) fetches git repos, generates bitbake configs (local.conf and bblayer.conf), bundles a reproducible build environment as a container and produces a QEMU image with one bootstrap command; it supports Debian/Isar and Yocto workflows, exports lockfiles to pin revisions, runs in CI via a wrapper script, and offers kas-container for portable builds and an kconfig interactive menus UI to choose fragments. Unique features include patching layers for CI-led upstream testing and a tightened refspec syntax to reduce supply-chain risk.
