MeeGo support in OE

MeeGo support in OE

[Andreas Mueller]

My investigations for a 'colorful' embedded environment lead me to Meego (http://meego.com/).

On the webpage we learn that this is a platform independent environment but there are only few platforms supported (Nokia N900 / Beaglebord / few Intel netbooks).

To have full platform-independency I would like to have Meego (maybe parts of it only) within OE and started already with easiest part uxlaunch (very tiny dm - see 
git://gitorious.org/meego-os-base/uxlaunch.git). This is already tested with xfce environment but before posting a patch here I would like to do some further tests with gnome/enlightenment and 
see what happens in case another dm is found in the image. 

Next step planned is mutter. Here I would like to use the original gnome sources and check the diffs to meego branch.

Now my questions:

- Are there any objections including meego parts (licensing / don't like Intel/Nokia..) in OE
- Are there already proceedings related to mutter ongoing? Or is there a reason that mutter is not in OE other than nobody has done so far?

I didn't add mutter because at the time it didn't build against
clutter/gles. It think that has changed now :)

I would very much like to build meego components in OE!

You could do worse than look at meta-moblin in Poky which has recipes
for some components like mutter.

Cheers,

Thanks for the information - I will take a look on poky but right now I dived into bumping versions of clutter...
