No, this is something we do a lot of the time and you can see it in the commit logs.

Nothing has ever been thrown away. Poky has been around a long time, things get added to OE which didn't make it into Poky. What Joshua is trying to understand is what missing. > We have had numerous discussion on how we can extend Yocto back to > include the PowerPC, ARM, MIPS stuff again, but it takes people to > look across the wall again. qemuppc, qemuarm and qemumips built and boot in Poky, we test this extremely regularly so there is no fundamental architecture issue. Where did this come from? Large chunks of it from OE. There is obviously some problem for certain classes of machines. I'd very much like to understand what is broken so we can go and fix it. > If there's legal issues involved in looking over the wall, I'ld like > to see that confirmed, as it greatly influences the way we can work > with the community. There are no legal issues. Cheers, Richard
