Build Steps

There are several build steps to OpenXT.

Required Steps

setupoe: Clones all of the git repos needed to build OpenXT and processes .config to make OE's local.conf.
initramfs: The initial ram file system of OpenXT. This contains all the device drivers necessary to mount the actual file system.
stubinitramfs: The initramfs of the stub domains in which VMs run.
dom0: OpenXT control domain.
uivm: OpenXT service VM that runs the user interface.
ndvm: OpenXT service VM that runs the networking domain.
syncvm: OpenXT synchronizer service VM, responsible for remote image/policy management.
sysroot: TODO
syncui: OpenXT synchronizer UI.
installer: OpenXT installer.
installer2: OpenXT installer program.
ship: Pull everything together and create the ISOs and other packages.

copy: Copy the build out to a central location. This is really only used in automated build scenarios. The default location is /master unless the build script is passed a -d option. e.g. do_build.sh -d "~/some_path".
source: TODO
sdk: TODO
license: TODO
sourceinfo: TODO
extra_pkgs: Builds a bunch of extra OpenEmbedded packages, that will be installable separately.
packages_tree: Adds the built packages to an OpenEmbedded repository pool, that uses hardlinks to save disk space.

To create a minimum build the easiest way to specify the steps across multiple builds is to use the line below in your .config file.
