I think so. I like this better.
Tom, any objections?
Yocto Project Components
BSPs
bsps-runtime
bsps-configuration
Kernel
linux-yocto
kernel-configuration
kernel-tooling
The other Kernel related path would include
Build System & Metadata
Layers - OpenEmbedded-Core
kernel
This would be for the kernel.bbclass and other recipes and classes.
I think we should just kill:
Build System & Metadata
Layers - BSPs
and move all the BSP components under Yocto Project Components->BSPs
Finally there is:
Build System & Metadata
Layers - meta-yocto
machines
Which should just go away and be replaced witha BSPs->meta-yocto
component, if anything.
So, the final layout would be:
Yocto Project Components
BSPs
bsps-runtime
bsps-configuration (these top too being "generic" buckets)
bsps-meta-yocto
bsps-meta-fsl-ppc
bsps-meta-intel
bsps-meta-ti
bsps-tools
bsps-xilinx (meta-xilinx?)
Kernel
linux-yocto
kernel-configuration
kernel-tooling
I believe this would make it much easier for us to manage Kernel related
issues across the project.
