Populating meta-oe with new patches on oe.dev

Populating meta-oe with new patches on oe.dev

[Khem Raj]

Hello

As we all know that next release of OpenEmbedded is slated based on
oe-core, I would like to request submitters and committers of
the patches for oe.dev to port the patches to meta-oe or any other
layer that is suitable for a given patch. Any new recipes
being added to oe.dev should definitely go into the new layered structure

Please follow the commit guidelines for meta-oe/oe-core and submit the
appropriate pull requests so that when we cut out the next release we
don't miss any of those patches.

Thanks for your cooperation and help

Hi,

 

My apologies for the dumb question, but I admit that I don't know the answer, so ...

 

Can someone explain the differences between oe-core and OpenEmbedded, and in particular the various git repositories? I ask because I'm struggling to get OE running on my h1940 (using openembedded), but I have a feeling that this may be the wrong repository to use ... but I just don't know ... :-(. I'm also not sure which ones are being worked on going forward (as I would like to submit changes once I get things working, but again don't know which repository is the right one).

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

... Russell

Well, as I just mentioned in my reply to Paul I have produced a document 
describing OE-core here:

 http://www.openembedded.org/index.php/OpenEmbedded-Core

I don't know that it explicitly describes all the repositories but it does 
give some idea of the motivations.

OE-dev provides support for h1940, yes, but I wouldn't expect that to be 
maintained in future. However, read on...

So most of the new development should happen either in OE-core or some layer 
on top. Hopefully I will soon be able to release a layer called "meta-
handheld" that I have been working on which will provide machine support for 
h1940 amongst other handheld devices. If you're using OE-dev now that's OK, if 
you have any patches against OE-dev they will be easy to re-apply to meta-
handheld or whereever is appropriate.

Cheers,
Paul
