For it to be on the yocto project web site, it just need to have the layers hosted on the git.yoctoproject.org. But there is no "yocto".. It's the Yocto Project, Poky, or specific git repositories. There is no reason we can't have an angstrom repository. It could be in a similar format to the Poky repository (everything combined for a single download), or it could be a layer [or layers] that sit on top of Poky. > > What is the process to make that happen?

I've never seen it defined as that. I've presented on numerous occasions that end users using the Yocto Project build environment, Poky, should expect to add 1 or more layers to Poky. Usually I present that would be 2 or 3 layers depending on their projects. 1 (or more) BSP layers, 1 (or more) userspace layers, and 1 (or more) internal project/device layers. External items come in layers and should not be modified, to ease long term maintenance and upgrading. Local changes should be made in one or more layers depending on responsibilities, work flow and project requirements. What I personally would like to see is Angstrom being one or more layers that define a new distribution that can be added to Poky (or oe-core...) --Mark > > regards, > > Koen > _______________________________________________ > yocto mailing list > yocto@yoctoproject.org > https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
