Hello World PS4 PKG Example by Al Azif for Homebrew Developers
Proceeding the previously released Hello World Test App PS4 PKG and Hello World GameMaker PS4 PKG, PlayStation 4 developer @Al Azif recently shared a Hello World PS4 PKG example on Twitter demonstrating how with the OpenOrbis PS4 Toolchain homebrew packages can be built automatically by adding only a few lines of code. 
To quote from the Tweets below on this handy tip for PS4 homebrew creators and developers:
Add 3-5 lines to Github workflow and it can automatically build your homebrew package for you without you actually needing to install the ***. You can use this for various things like to check to make sure changes are valid before accepting them or for generating releases.
As you can see from the PKG link generated by GitHub here:
Download: IV0000-BREW00083_00-HELLOWORLD000000.pkg.zip (5.77 MB - includes IV0000-BREW00083_00-HELLOWORLD000000.pkg (6.31 MB)) / GIT
And from the README.md: Hello World!
This is a repo to demonstrate the Open Orbis Toolchain Action
You can view the workflow file here and view the completed actions with their output here.

Super Mario 64 (SM64) Native Port PS4 PKG Details Surface, OsirisX Update!
Since the previous Nintendo 64 (N64) PS2 on PS4 emulator port demo video and precompiled SM64 for PS3 via @zecoxao on Twitter, this weekend PlayStation 4 scene homebrew developer @Markus95 (aka @Kus00095) shared further details on the Super Mario 64 (SM64) Native Port at Logic-Sunrise.com noting the following about the PS4 PKG PS3 PKG given to him by Red-J (Twitter), to quote roughly translated:
"As Red-J says we have known each other for more than 10 years and it's been a long time since we communicate more since the PMs of LS... and what we say or share to each other does not concern LS or anyone else.
I then myself asked the dev behind the pkg, if I could give the info or not, he gave me the permission to news on it... and here is the news.
So I made a new one which respects the site charter, neither more nor less... without giving a link to the pkg... and specifying that links to the pkg are simply prohibited."
As a result of Nintendo's Recent Legal Action downloads, file names, hashes, hints, links, etc won't be posted so find them on your own. Anyone disregarding this notice will receive a permanent infraction with no other warning!
Update: PlayStation 4 homebrew developer @Osirisx has updated his Github repository now with a legal native Super Mario 64 Port minus the required assets for compiling the game.
From the README.md, to quote: Super Mario 64 Port

CGFw: Check Game Firmware App for Required PS4 Version by OfficialAhmed
Following the FRMCHK Web Database to identify PS4 games in Firmware groups and his previous ThemeDumperFTP release, today PlayStation 4 developer OfficialAhmed made available on Twitter an application called CGFw (aka Check Game Firmware) that will check the required PS4 firmware version for games and return the results in a Windows command prompt. 
Currently CGFw is considered a work-in-progress (WIP) by the developer, with a PayPal link available for those who'd like to support his continued work on the project.
Download: CGFw (Latest Version) / CGFw.v2.24.zip (31.3 MB) / CGFw v1.01.zip (10.4 MB) / CGFw.py / CGFw v2.07.zip (33.6 MB) / GIT
From the README.md: Check Game Firmware (CGFw)
Ever wondered which system version a PS4 game requires? well this project is helpful for you.
Details
This project compares the game release date from online sources and the official firmware release date and determine if a game is playable on that fw or not. This is not 100% accurate but it's pretty decent as this is still WIP.
v1.01 This is the first release still few issues here 'n there, if you got any problems feel free to submit them OfficialAhmed0. I will be improving this project (This is not the final version).
