Yocto Project Recipe for Testing upstream code

[Nicholas Krause]

Greetings David,

I mentioned this in my other email for my work but it seems that the Yocto

Project has this recipe devupstream.bbclass and are hoping to get it to

work for upstream code including gcc from HEAD e.t.c.  I'm asked them

to see if they can mention that other projects like LLVM/GCC may want

to have this as well at there usual yearly meeting at the usual yearly

Embedded Linux/IOT conference.

I'm assuming you are aware of the project but if 
not:https://www.yoctoproject.org/
<https://www.yoctoproject.org/>

This would allow us to not only have a testsuite but a toolkit that 
builds real

software. Here is a list of all the software that is supported:

https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layers/

Layers are just containers so you can look at recipes for all the 
packages that it

can build when testing an external toolchain in this case, upstream.

They seem to think its a good idea so I'm sharing on this end with the 
GCC folks

and its highly automated with bitbake which is even better,

Nick
