This wiki contains various topics of relevance to OpenEmbedded.

* [[MonotonePhraseBook]] - We use Monotone for version control. Right now, monotone is not really fast especially if you have a lot of revisions to incorporate, but its performance increases with each new version released. So, if you tried mtn a few months ago, try the latest version now - you will be amazed how it is progressed.
