OE layer index page entry referring to "meta-oe" seems wrong

OE layer index page entry referring to "meta-oe" seems wrong

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i was checking out the OE layer index page:

http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/LayerIndex

and it seems like the early entry for meta-oe is misleading.  if you
check out that git repo, what you get is the meta-openembedded top
level directory, of which meta-oe is just one of a number of
sub-layers (meta-efl, meta-gnome, ..., meta-oe), similar to the
situation with meta-intel.

  just an observation.

That's what the "Repo subdir" column is supposed to help with - that indicates 
which subdirectory within the repository the layer is in. Git does not really 
conveniently allow checking out just a subdirectory so we have to refer to the 
top level. That said, I'm happy to have suggestions on how we can improve the 
index in this regard.

Cheers,
Paul

  ah, got it, i just didn't look closely enough.  just an observation
-- meta-openembedded's meta-multimedia and meta-systemd layers don't
appear to be listed on that page.  is that a deliberate omission?

It was, since up until recently both of those layers were empty. Thanks for 
reminding me though - I have now added them.
