| 89 | Traditionally, when one thinks of a patched kernel, they think of a base kernel | ||
| 90 | source tree and a fixed structure that contains kernel patches. | ||
| 91 | The Yocto Project, however, employs mechanisms that, in a sense, result in a kernel source | ||
| 92 | generator. | ||
| 93 | By the end of this section, this analogy will become clearer. | ||
