Right, I'm starting to test meta-fsl-ppc this week live on a t1040rdb. 
I was using my own image & package group but since I'm finding some 
issues, I would like to use Ting's provided demo image & package groups 
as a common baseline before I report any findings or maybe submit a patch.

I'll just continue to test with Ting's community related patches applied 
in my own development branch(es) & not worry about using repo.

However, this obviously makes it a little messy when worrying about 
whether we're all testing with the same commits on the various layers.

I'm definitely looking forward to the future & getting in sync with the 
entire community.

Thanks

Bob
