I contemplated such a change for a long time, actually current work on adding missing hh.org machine to OE and switching to defconfiman kernel configuration management are initial steps on that way. I didn't proceed with OE machine configs cleanup, because well, it takes some real world dataset to make it general enough, and because HH.org kernel project was literally the only stakeholder for such changes, with couple of dozens of machines and counting (whereas even Zaurus project has around half-dozen architecturally different machines). So, I eagerly awaited other projects, like Hackhdev to join more actively with OE, to tackle these issues together. I understand your worktime constraints, and the need to get practice with OE and mtn, but there're other creative ways to get it - like, for example, adding support for other 8 or so Palm devices in addition to 4 already in OE. This would be pretty worthy a job for Palm devices maintainer, and at the same time would happen to give us mentioned raw dataset to base firm decisions on. And there's also good chance for us to get in sync, so all Palm and PocketPC devices are in OE, that can't be checked off for both projects, and we can proceed further with better support and maintenance facilitation. Of course, this all is from my side of view, YMMV. > Best regards, > S. -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
