Re: [PATCH] barebox: Add recipe

["Stefan Müller-Klieser" <s.mueller-klieser@phytec.de>]

Hello everybody,

it happened that I am also preparing our barebox recipe for OE-core. I 
started similar to David but it evolved already. I added support for 
packages, configuration fragments and an the ipl, needed for some SoCs. 
I will send it to the list for comments. Even if it will not be 
accepted, it might be useful for some people. I will provide an 
explanation for the maintainer.

Regards, Stefan
