Is It Time To Retire Kas? - Jan Kiszka & Felix Mößbauer, Siemens

Friday October 9, 2026 11:05 - 11:45 CEST

South Hall 3 B (Floor 3)

You are using kas, the user-friendly orchestration tool for bitbake projects, and you just got nervous? Sorry for that.

With your full attention now, this talk shall bring you up to date with latest developments in kas. Among them are the diff plugin, buildtools support, build attestations, improved lock file handling, unprivileged containers, commit signature validation, easier CI builds, and more.

But we would also like to hear from you what could be further improved. Are there use cases or workflows that should be added to kas or could be better handled than so far. Be prepared for an interactive part.

Last but not least, we will relieve you from worries that kas might be retired by explaining our motivations and plans to drive this project also in the foreseeable future.
