[Richard Purdie]

Thanks for starting this thread Mark, I've also just been looking at
this question so its timely.

I'm proposing this change so far:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=rpurdie/roorg&id=891ad22536b49d4fee066a5865ad730f791d36e9

with those relocated files being removed from oe-core. Any objections to
that to start with? I think meta-demoapps would also be removed and I
think the TSC pretty much agreed on that.

That would leave these files/directories that I'm aware of that also
need attention:

LICENSE
README
README.hardware
poky-init-build-env
meta/conf/distro/include
meta-rt/*
scripts/*

Is there an easy choice to make on these?

I would like to setup some common distro include files but that is a
separate topic. The main quesiton is whether to leave any of
meta/conf/distro/include around for this or remove for now and bring
back as needed?

Cheers,

Richard
