If I want to compile a few software packages from source that are not BB recipes the workflow would be to create a BB recipe and build it, correct? Do I really have to build the entire image from source (i.e., omap3-console-image) in OE and lock up my parallels image for 14 hours? Or can I build only the package(s) I want and move those onto the gumstix with runs a factory image? Specifically, the software packages I want are nginx (web server) and Orbited.
