Saul,
I apologize for my ignorance, but I'm not familiar with the "directdisk"
images.
What are they and what is involved with removing them?
Directdisk images are images that can be directly dd'ed to a raw
harddrive and booted from. They are different from "live" image which
can be booted from usbstick.
currently the -directdisk images are broken in that they use a fixed
partition table in a file and you end up with bad partition sizes.
To remove them, we just delete some recipes and infrastructre for them,
look for anything ending with -directdisk in the reciple or class name.
Sau!

Subject: [poky] [RFC] Removing directdisk image creation
Folks,
I am working on converting the live image creation into an IMAGE_FSTYPE
and wanted to see if anyone was still using the directdisk images?
I propose removing the directdisk images.
I am cross-posting to get ensure a larger audience for this.
Thanks
