I have figured out how to (on the RPI3) use the native package system since packages for that processor are now part of the official package tree, to populate a build as well. That's fairly simple If you are using a RPI2 (which I still have some of in use) you need poudriere on your build host set up to cross-build the packages and keep them locally because there is no direct package support for that CPU. -- Karl Denninger karl@denninger.net <mailto:karl@denninger.net> /The Market Ticker/ /[S/MIME encrypted email preferred]/
