  • dist-kernel - Enable subslot rebuilds on Distribution Kernel upgrades
  • modules - Build the kernel modules
  • monitor - Build the Python and GUI dependent monitor applications
  • python_single_target_python3_10 - Build for Python 3.10 only
  • python_single_target_python3_11 - Build for Python 3.11 only
  • python_single_target_python3_9 - Build for Python 3.9 only
  • python_targets_python3_9 - Build with Python 3.9
  • ssl - Add support for SSL/TLS connections (Secure Socket Layer / Transport Layer Security)
