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.

100 Git repositories titled "Yocto Linux Kernel."
