Yes that's the correct link, although the website is temporarily down; the appropriate people have apparently been informed and hopefully can fix it soon. However the website/wiki can still be accessed under http://wiki.openembedded.org. > What I wanted to find out on the wiki: > > - what branch / tag to checkout to have a consitant verison I'm not quite sure what you're asking here. FYI OE is in the middle of a transition of sorts; we're moving to a more modular metadata structure based around a smaller common core (OE-Core). For more information please see this page: http://wiki.openembedded.org/index.php/OpenEmbedded-Core For new development work we would strongly recommend OE-core as a base, allowing you greater flexibility as well as avoiding some legacy cruft. > - what to use as starting point for a minimalist x86 system being able > to run under qemu (x86) "Minimalist" is somewhat subjective. OE-core alone provides a "qemux86" machine target, a distro-less basic configuration and a "core-image-minimal" image that provides a basic console-only system without package management. > - How to add a gnu toolchain package to my minimalist target system I think this is a case of adding "tools-sdk" to your IMAGE_FEATURES; someone else might be able to offer more help here. > - what to use as starting point for a minimalist arm11 system being able > to run under qemu (x86) Same as above except use "qemuarm" as the machine. > - what is the recommended way to run bitbake in a 64 bit environment > (psyco is not working). Is pypy an option? There's no specific recommended way; the psyco warning was just a warning and in any case if you're using a recent version of BitBake (as you need to for OE-core) then Psyco support has been removed and you won't get the warning. > - what are the correct mailing lists for such questions For OE-classic discussion as well as layers above OE-core, use the openembedded-devel mailing list. For OE-core use this list (openembedded- core). I suspect the openembedded-core list will merge into openembedded-devel at some point in the near future.
