Just to add, I went and looked at the code/data in meta-clutter again.
The README says "meta-clutter depends only on oe-core and is meant to be
used with the current stable release of it (currently dylan).".

How about the master branch gets renamed "dylan" so it clearly show what
its meant to work against and follows the other repositories?

I'd still propose we try and get the core pieces into OE-Core master so
there is no need for a master branch of that repo. Currently if you try
that repo with master, there will be duplicated sstate postfuncs being
run which are probably harmless. There are also other duplicated recipes
(master glib-2.0 is newer). Over time as master and dylan diverge there
probably will be worse compatibility issues.

Cheers,

Richard
