MidgardOS Developer Documentation

A website documenting creating the build root for MidgardOS

MidgardOS - Core OS Build Documentation

Navigation    
  HOME Prerequisites »

Right now, MidgardOS is manually built. Eventually, automation will be put in place to create container images that will be used to drive builds of RPMs for the OS. For now, this documentation, heavily inspired by the Cross-LFS and LFS project, will have to suffice.
