You're forgetting: c) Have yocto use meta-ti for beagleboard. TI is actively participating in yocto and it's getting way too weird that you yocto guys keep refusing to use the meta-ti layer. I've heard the arguments why you refuse it, but at this point this is becoming a farce. > > While a) is the most direct approach to accomplish our goal, it requires > continual maintenance and duplicates effort.

But given that you are still refusing to use meta-ti, I suspect it doesn't matter what I say as the maintainer for beagleboard. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
