Hi Jeremiah, a colleague got parts of the Netbook UX running with OpenEmbedded, but this was back at the time of OpenEmbedded classic. Currently I mainly use OpenEmbedded Core, but lately I tried the new Poky release and liked it. Using a GUI (Hob) to get an overview of available packages is very comfortable. Bitbake itself is a really smart program, using Autotools informations that already exists for most packages makes it very easy to add new software. In example I took an already programmed Qt application and slightly adjusted the makefile, used a basic recipe template and compiled it, that's all and IMHO it is amazing. Of course it is not always that simple, but for stand alone applications that only provide a GUI and some logic it works well out of the box. > > Starting to mature?

Personally I pretty much like the process, in which Yocto benefits from patches sent for OE Core and vice versa. Now and then I still wondered about why Intel didn't adapt Meego in Yocto/Poky, because both are very interesting projects. And right now I wonder where Meego will be in the future. > Ross > _______________________________________________ > MeeGo-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev > http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines > -- Regards Samuel _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
