Richard, meta-ti is the focus of the confusion at the moment because it is trying to support several different use cases. The confusion about poky, yocto, oe is widespread. At an SDR related conference earlier this month, I was asked by some of the grad student types what all these words mean. And I gave about the same answer as Koen, but worded a little more diplomatically, Even people that should know better are making statements that add to the confusion. I am 99% certain Saul used the phrase "Poky build system" at the Yocto developer day. We laughed about it afterwards, but this shows how deep the confusion is. I know you are trying to help solve the confusion problem. But I feel Koen should not take all the heat for expressing his frustration. We, as in the Yocto Advisory Board should do a better job communicating how all the pieces fit together, Philip
