Hi Bruce/Darren,
My attention was drawn to the existence of poky-extras. This was really
a short term gap filling repository and I think the time has come to
remove it. There are basically two chunks of code in there.
The meta-linaro pieces in there haven't been touched in two years and
are therefore dead. I think we should delete them to alleviate any
confusion.
The kernel pieces have been touched more recently. Some moved into the
core, mostly its just example boiler plate type code now. I think this
needs moving to a better named repository if its still wanted/useful, or
we delete it. I personally don't have a strong preference.
Can someone take care of sorting this out?
I can take care of finding it a new home. I use the repo daily, and keep
bumping it with examples with each new kernel update or release. I was
working on some urlremapper code for the layer, to replace the old
boiler plate "uncomment this" examples that are current in the recipes ..
that work has been backgrounded, but I can pick it up again as part
of relocating the changes.
I'm out of the office for the next week and a half, but can have a look
after that. Does that timeframe work ?
Yes, its not urgent and I don't want to remove something people use. I
do think that this would better as a meta-yocto-kernel or something
similar. How about we simply rename it to that and delete meta-linaro
from it?
Agreed. That's an effective way to clarify what's left in the layer.
I'll take care of cleaning up the contents later.
If it's just the rename, I assume Michael can take care of it and
there's nothing immediate for me to do.
Cheers,
Bruce
