[OE-core] [Announce] Angstrom-layers has been deprecated, manual bblayers.conf editing needed

Apologies for crossposting, please vet the addresses when replying.

When starting the yocto support in angstrom we started with a single repo with a few layers, angstrom-layers. Over time various layers were split out and moved (e.g. meta-oe) to make development easier and have clearer seperatation.Today the last piece of angstrom-layers has been split out into its own repo, which makes it obsolete. The necessary changes to the angstrom setup scripts have been made:

http://git.angstrom-distribution.org/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/setup-scripts/commit/?h=oe-core

For existing users you need to make a similar change to build/conf/bblayers.conf.

The new, but temporary, location for the TI BSP is now at http://git.angstrom-distribution.org/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/meta-texasinstruments/. The final location is unknown, since OE hasn't made up their mind about hosting BSPs on OE.org yet and TI needs to decide internally which location would be best (oe.org, angstrom, yocto, something else). But for the time being it will live on the angstrom server.

From now on there should only be layer additions :)
