This layer has moved over to Yocto servers and has been renamed/merged to meta-virtualization: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openembedded.core/30003 meta-virtualization|Layer enabling hypervisor, virtualization tool stack, and cloud support.||git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-virtualization|http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-virtualization/ Thanks, Ray
