Actually this is an update for the last two weeks, as there was no
update last week.
Things that happened last two weeks:
* The build pipelines in the manifests dropped a bunch of packages that
are not used by the images, such as filesystem support for xfs/squashfs
and cdrom support. This makes the build smaller and faster and requires
less packages to be supported.
* There is a new makefile target extension "*.ext4" which creates an
image similar to the normal one but without a multi-partition setup.
This is useful on some boards where the boot happens in a non
traditional way and all that is needed is the root filesystem.
* There is a new makefile target "*.tar" which makes it easy to
generate a tarballs containing the contents of what would otherwise be
in image.
* The makefiles now support passing strings with spaces in them in
the DEFINES variable by escaping them with a backslash.
* The two images "kernel_dev" and "osbuilder" were combined into a
single "developer" image that has the content of the previous as well
as some container tooling.
