The initial split (which is still "work in progress"), following the above description (except the systemd for now) can be checked at: http://arago-project.org/git/?p=meta-ti.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/split I do understand this is, like any other restructuring, an invasive change, but is required to properly position "meta-ti" and the support behind it. I'm open to a discussion and any constructive criticism - feel free to comment. Thanks. -- Denys
