But as Khem said, there are no differences between master and dizzy/fido from meta-ti perspective. The thing is, we still have few of our products based on Daisy and being actively developed, hence I have to maintain Daisy as well as master. If you check the logs, you'd notice that I have to push same patches to both daisy and master branches (although there were some subtle changes between them, due to low-level framework changes in OE-core). If you insist on creating dizzy branch, it won't be updated. Which is probably fine, as it would be expected to be "stable" w/o new features, but with bugfixes. And considering that daisy gets new features, it would be rather strange... BTW, we plan to migrate our products to Fido in the near future, so basically we are tracking Spring Yocto releases - Denzil, Dylan, Daisy, Fido, etc. So, there will be fido branch at some point and I will stop accepting new features into daisy... -- Denys
