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
