Hello FSL BSL Community.

This is the first of 2 emails that I am forwarding from earlier 
discussions regarding meta-fsl-ppc.

I have periodically used the meta-freescale board to raise issues that I 
see about the disconnect between FSL's use of the Yocto Project repo, 
their public GIT, and the SDK releases and a general lack of 
transparency regarding their BSP / SDK development and bug resolution 
process.

I hope these issues can be followed and worked in upcoming BSP meetings.

Bob

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] meta-fsl-networking layer manages the packages 
maintained internally, so the layer can't be upstreamed.

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] For such case, we will consider to move the demo 
image recipes into meta-fsl-ppc layer.

[Luo Zhenhua-B19537] Currently we are working on it, and will publish 
the staffs publicly when it is ready.
