Some gui that can edit all the conf's and task's, and image.bb's painlessly and easily would make a tom of difference. The learning curve for oe is too high. Take buildroot, for example. A person can download it, run make menuconfig, set up the system, arch, and select packages, all in one go. You do not need to know that you should have to either edit or create your own tasks, or image .bb's, much less the syntax for those files. -- Lorn 'ljp' Potter Software Engineer, Systems Group, MES, Trolltech
