This really needs to be a BSP layer, not a distro, so that people can build a custom distros with it; i.e., the fact that you currently BBMASK packages in the BSP configuration means it will not be useable as an independent layer. > > Until a stable version of this layer we will keep this layer on > > bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/agherzan/meta-raspberrypi. > > Considering that John Willis's work is on github, where a number of > people follow it already, why move this somewhere else?

It should be easy for people interested in the m-rpi effort to track what is happening, splitting it over multiple online services does facilitate that; more so it implicitly turns this into two separate projects simply because someone wanting to contribute will have to choose where to send the contributions to.
