Automotive Linux Summit & Open Source Summit Japan 2018

Debian is a binary distribution well-known for its stability and long-term support from strong communities. Compared with source-based distributions, it provides key benefits like fast system installation, software repository infrastructure, and security updates. For embedded usage, patching Debian packages, cross-building from sources, reproducibility and traceability are additionally required.

Isar and Deby work together on building source packages in a Debian way with Yocto tools and using Debian binary packages in a single project. The goal is to benefit from Debian's advantages and make customization very, very easy. In this talk, Baurzhan and Kazuhiro will explain why the projects collaborate, what kind of build infrastructure would be preferred, and how they share common features to effectively apply Debian to a wider range of products.
