   Good ${greeting_time}, Maurice!   
      
   02 Mar 2020 20:00:24, you wrote to me:

   Same thing with BV6000 (MT6755, 2Gb, 16Gb).   
   Better CPU (SoC, more precisely), but less RAM.   
      
    AV>> Rockchip RK3288-based mediabox with 4 Gb RAM and 32 Gb flash

    MK> glibc-2.something.or.other.   
      
   Here the build environment is created from a scratch (that means, list of   
   packages to fetch from local copy of the repository) and deleted just after   
   copying the fresh packages to the repo.

    MK> while we're at it.   
      
   ... unless explicitly stated in BuildRequires line of the .spec   
      
    MK> bash was king on it.   
      
   Bash is just a PoS.   
      
    AV>> Building the kernel takes approx. 2 hours there :-)   
    MK> Not bad. Which version?   
      
   5.5.7 for now.   
      
   However, my favorite server at work builds it just in 4...5 minutes:
