(it would be great to get U-Boot added to buildroot as well - One build for bootloader + kernel + root filesystem :)
Buildroot? Isn't this kind of a dead horse now? I thought everybody is using Yocto now...
Since the last 3 years, the project has seen an increasing activity, and has been almost entirely rewritten. We are doing stable releases every 3 months, are doing a lot more quality testing than we have been doing in the past. We have given talks at the latests ELC, ELCE and FOSDEM.
So, definitely it's not a dead project. It however doesn't fit the same segment as Yocto: Yocto is an embedded distribution generator, while Buildroot is just a root filesystem + kernel + bootloader image generator. Buildroot is much, much simpler to use and set up, but also offers less flexibility than Yocto.
