### dunfell-specific requirements

The dunfell OE/Yocto branch is an LTS release, which is often at odds with
Chromium's release model because it often requires recent versions of certain
recipes to build correctly.

This is particularly a problem for the toolchain (i.e. LLVM) and, at times,
node.js. As such, dunfell users **must** ensure the following:
* Chromium needs clang >= 12 and for that, meta-clang's **dunfell-clang12**
branch needs to be used.
* Since Chromium 112, at least Nodejs 14 is required for parts of the build.
