Changes From Honister That Impact A FoundriesFactory
Daiane Angolini, established Linux tech author and Foundries.io Platform Software Engineer, explores critical changes made by The Yocto Project in the Honister release (3.4). This postdetails two changes that impact a FoundriesFactory.
Artifacts For Debugging A FoundriesFactory Build
The debug messages from the Yocto Project are important when the build does not complete, or when a package does not behave as expected. Logs can help to verify if files are well placed, variables have the expected value, and the set of packages being built is enough. Daiane Angolini walks FoundriesFactory users through debugging of the Yocto Project tools in her blog.
