Description

There are a number of items I can use to improve PiBox.

This list will expand over time.
  1. Use a skeleton overlay directory instead of the customize package
  2. Build out of tree
  3. Add make buildroot-pkg-stats
  4. Add make buildroot-show-info
  5. Add make buildroot-graph-depends
  6. Add make buildroot-graph-size
  7. Install toolchain to ~/toolchain/version using deb tools
  8. Build buildroot before kernel - kernel tools often depend on sysroot/rootfs tools
  9. Use squashfs packaging of firmware and userland and add via an overlay setup
  10. Use proper package directories
  11. Use patch directories
