> I  think some restructuring is needed wrt distro's and images
> I did some counting and we currently have 32 distro's (ls
> conf/distro/*.conf | wc
> There are a few semi-dups (micro, minimal and oplinux have regular and
> uclibc versions, angstrom has angstrom-2008.1-legacy.conf  and
> angstrom-2008.1.conf, slugos has slugos, slugos-native and ucslugc)
> 
> also we have 94 images (ls recipes/images/*.bb | wc)
> For some of these it is quite obvious for which distro's they are.
> Mostly because they are prefixed with the distro name (e.g.nylon,
> slugos, openmoko)
> but for several others it is less clear. grep -i -l angstromg
> recipes/images/*.bb | wc gives 30 but not all of them are angstrom
> specific.
> E.g. nas-server-image.bb mentions angstrom in the comment but is
> distro agnostic.
> 
> Also sometimes the names are confusing. We have a minimal distro but
> minimal-image.bb is not an image for the minimal distro, but is an
> angstrom image.
> 
> My proposal is to create distro specific subdirs and move all images
> from a distro to that specific subdir
> That makes it more insightful what belongs to what.

+1 from me
