Hi,
Here's the following rationale:
1. as a user, I would like to easily find the released Linaro components:
* Linaro Evaluation Build (Android and Ubuntu LEB)
* Tools (linaro-image-tools)
* Working Groups (kernel, u-boot, gcc, gdb, qemu, powerdebug, powertop, etc...)
2. as a user, I would like to download the release for my ${board} in
one central place.
3. as a release manager on the road to monthly releases, I would like
to adjust the current layout to match the release process.
The current layout has some issues:
- a user should go through several paths to get a rootfs and a hardware pack.
- a user should go through several websites to find Linaro goods
(releases.l.o, launchpad.net)
- newcomers like Android doesn't fit well
- every team has a different release process
To resolve these user stories, we came up with 2 layouts proposal.
Please, see the document attached.
Feebdacks/suggestions on the proposals are welcome!
Note: we planned to start with platform directory only.
The working-groups could come later when we agree on the approach.
Cheers,
Fathi
