Open Source Summit + ELC Europe 2018

For building Linux-based products, combining benefits of existing distributions and tools becomes essential. Debian is the platform of choice for industrial and other products requiring continuous security updates and 10+ years of maintenance. Product builders need an integrated, flexible, easy-to-use toolkit for building product applications, patching Debian packages, and generating and customizing the root filesystem image.

ELBE, Isar, and Deby use Debian as the base system. The projects are working together towards a common solution. The approach is to provide tooling for package building, customization and release management based on Yocto build tools, structure, and workflows. In this talk, we will introduce why the projects joined efforts, what kind of functions are required for satisfying product demands, and how the functionality could be implemented with bitbake recipes.
