Layer index wiki page

Layer index wiki page

[Paul Eggleton]

Hi all,

I've created a wiki page to provide a central index of all layers that can be 
used with oe-core:

 http://www.openembedded.org/index.php/LayerIndex

This is by no means complete - I started with the list from Cliff's changelog 
and added a few on from there. I was also looking around for a page with the 
Ångström setup instructions that specifically mentions being oe-core based but 
I couldn't find it (Koen?) I'm still thinking about how to best represent layer 
repos that contain multiple layers too (e.g. meta-oe, meta-smartphone, etc.).

Comments / updates / additions welcome.

Cheers,
Paul

At the moment it's only mentioned in http://git.angstrom-distribution.org/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/meta-angstrom/tree/README since the stock angstrom images don't build due to missing recipes (e.g. GNOME), so it's a bit hackers only. You do have a point that it should be clearly documented before it can be considered ready :)

Koen

Looks good.  I've added meta-yocto to the weekly changelog report:

Please be careful with this one as "poky" is currently a fusion of
bitbake, oe-core and the meta-yocto pieces and those meta-yocto pieces
don't yet have their own repository. There will therefore be duplicate
commit information until meta-yocto splits into its own repository.

Yocto is working on layer tools and I've been holding doing anything
with meta-yocto until they're ready. If there is pressure to split this
out now though, we can speed up that process at some extra admin cost
for me to maintain them...

Cheers,
