There was a tag applied at the time of the Yocto Project release: v2012.05-yocto1.2 [BTW, I'm not sure what 7.0.1 is - is it Poky versioning?] That said, meta-ti was not ready to have a formal release at the time. Moreover, testing with Yocto/Poky release was not done - it was meant to be used with oe-core and possibly meta-oe and be Yocto-compatible. This may sound confusing, but since there's no better terminology available, that would do. Hopefully, by the next Yocto Project 1.3 release, we'll do better testing with just Yocto/Poky, but right now my focus is on bringing up the new Arago distro for our SDKs, while Koen is mostly interested in Angstrom. I do understand that we are getting more and more newcomers from a pure Yocto/Poky environment and making sure we have a smooth experience for them with meta-ti is important, but it will take some time... -- Denys
