Meta-web-kiosk Layer

Meta-web-kiosk Layer

[Ciobanu, Emilia Maria Silvia]

Hi,

I've created a new layer that can be used for kiosk devices.
You can check it out at:
    http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-web-kiosk/

It contains a new bitbake target that automatically
starts a web browser right after boot and enables the
use of a virtual keyboard if there is support for it.

The layer currently includes recipes for the web browser,
and bsp configurations.

I'm open to receiving feedback, patches and any suggestions.

Thanks,
Emilia Ciobanu

Why not add dependency on meta-openembedded/meta-oe and meta-gnome?

At least 4 duplicated recipes could be removed and newer midori from
meta-gnome would be used:

OE @ ~/meta-openembedded $ find . -name ca-certificates_\*
./meta-oe/recipes-support/ca-certificates/ca-certificates_20120623.bb
OE @ ~/meta-openembedded $ find . -name vala_\*
./meta-oe/recipes-devtools/vala/vala_0.16.0.bb
OE @ ~/meta-openembedded $ find . -name midori_\*
./meta-gnome/recipes-connectivity/midori/midori_0.4.7.bb
OE @ ~/meta-openembedded $ find . -name python-docutils_\*
./meta-oe/recipes-devtools/python/python-docutils_0.5.bb

Great, thank you.

I'm not sure if this settings will work for everybody, maybe some other
default config or generate that from some variables in recipe (easier to
override from distro).

Plus, it could be merged in meta-browser; I see no reason for another
layer for it.
