When I created testing_x86_64, I looked at the list of required packages (as
defined by build/jam/repositories/HaikuPorts/<arch>) and populated the
(initially empty) branch with seemingly appropriate recipe versions from
master.
That set can then be tested for consistency by trying a bootstrap on it.
The only (small) opportunity for sharing work I can think of is that the
initial set of recipes could be limited to those required for the minimum
image (as opposed to the release image). Once that is working, more people
could work on extending the set, each one working on different "leaf"
recipes.
cheers,
Oliver
