Request for NEWS item: bitbake in GIT

Request for NEWS item: bitbake in GIT

[Leon Woestenberg]

For users not reading the mailing list, it is mostly unknown that
bitbake is now maintained in GIT.

I just modified the "Getting Started -> Bitbake
(http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/BitBake)" to reflect this to
some extend.

However, all other references to BitBake link to the bitbake project
page on berlios which mentions the SVN repo.

Maybe adding a News item in the wiki helps; I vaguely remember News is
moderated (cbrake?)

Thanks,

Would you also suggest to replace the old
svn co svn://svn.berlios.de/bitbake/branches/bitbake-1.8/ bitbake
with a newer git clone command in OE related documentation?

Only the Bitbake developer reference should mention git. Users shall be 
pointed to the tarball of the latest release.
