According to Beth, the current (nightly build) can be found here: http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/pub/nightly/CURRENT/buildtools/ Location for the upcoming 1.5 release when that is available: http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.5/buildtools/ The tricky part is we don't have a solid location yet, only one being built from master. Perhaps we could link to an intermediary page with explanatory text that can link to the appropriate location. Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre
