[oe] Stable branch/tag?

[Cliff Brake]

Hi Dave,

Probably the easiest thing to do is browse the tags at:
http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/

and find a tag that has a tested combination closest to what you want
to do.  Our testing process is described here:

http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Testing

I'll try to get the Getting Started documentation updated at some point.

Thanks,
Cliff
