meta-oe branch for edison?

[McClintock Matthew-B29882]

Hi all,

Can we create a meta-oe repo in git.yoctoproject.org? I'd like to also
create a branh within the repo that tracks a valid version of the repo
for specific Yocto releases.

(I can add that in my investigation so far -
f78f3f31c06c669006fcb567c8f503d4dbec68da looks like a good starting
commit for edison)

This might create a little friction with the OE community. What would be
the reason for the repository?

I'd certainly be happy to see such a branch. It might be more
appropriate to call it 2011-1 which corresponds to the OE-Core branch
name that is edison in the poky repo.

Cheers,

Richard

Well I don't particularly care if we create a repo or not. I just want
a place to go for a working meta-oe for all future releases of Yocto.
I had to figure this out on my own, but I'm can imagine others will
attempt similar things.

I think it should be fine to add an appropriate branch to the meta-oe
repository itself.

Richard

We should probably have this discussion on the oe list.

Basically, we should have a way to create a "stable" branch for oe-core
and meta-oe. There also needs to be some "policy" in place for commits.
The primary concern is making sure the development branches get all
needed fixes that go into the branches.

essentially you are asking for meta-oe release. I think layers dont
release in conjunction with oe-core but it would be beneficial if they
had similar time frames.

There is a 2011-1 branch in oe-core and there is going to be an update
policy of bugfixes but not upgrades or new features for that.

A release is one thing, just a simple tag or branch so people know
where to go to get started with specific releases.
