Is this integration work already published somewhere? I'm interested
in trying out swupdate with Yocto, but the lack of publicly available
repo is kind of holding this back (yes, I'm ware of SRPMs).

When I was asking on the mailing list about Yocto and ClearLinux back
in January[1][2] Arjan responded that there was a mismatch between the
development models used by Clear and Yocto and that there was a number
of reasons for not using Yocto tooling in Clear. Now, I'm still
interested in getting swupdate to work outside of Clear, so I took
some time to go through the source code to figure out the update
mechanism[3]. IMO making it work with Yocto should not be a
significant effort, even in embedded applications.

Do you mind sharing the some details if there is a larger plan for
getting Clear closer to Yocto/OE?
