Speaking of zynq, I have a simple BSP here for the zc702 board:

We have a namespace collision, there is also:
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-zynq/
Before creating the layer I checked:
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/LayerIndex
This is where layer information is collected. If a layer is not listed here,
yo can expect namespace collisions.
Sure, I don't argue with that, but I wasn't the original owner of the layer so
I can't say why it was or wasn't put into the wiki .. I'm not really concerned
about the minor oversight. They layer I pointed to was done under contract
by xilinx themselves, and contributed to be maintained as a yocto BSP, so
the layers name is not something that I control or can change.
Other similar layers can use the same name if they want, I was pointing it
out for reference, since I've had the same thing pointed out to me in
the past ;)
The bigger question is whether that layer is getting maintained. If it
isn't, it will likely get removed. I'd prefer it to get added to the
layer index and the namespace collision getting fixed.
I was going to cc the maintainer but there isn't one listed in the
README which is a really bad start. The feedback I gave when this was
added has not all been acted upon either (multi-dtb.inc,
layencytop/sysprof nastiness).
This puts it right at the top of my "likely to get removed soon" list.
It is being maintained, updates are pending.
Bruce: Since you have an idea who wrote it, could you find out whether
its going to get fixed (at the very least fix the README, add to the
index and resolve the namespace) or whether I should be deleting it.
Don't delete it. Work is being done. This was supposed to be a primary
repository for work, and it is the basis for spin off BSPs. There was
a handoff issue between Wind River and Xylinx .. but I don't have all
the details.
And it's something that I'll be carrying forward and pulling kernel
patches into linux-yocto on the next kernel bump.
I'll do the simple updates to the README and put it in the layer index.
Cheers,
Bruce
