[oe] New meta layers: meta-handheld and meta-opie

[Paul Eggleton]

Hi all,

I'd like to announce the availability of two new metadata layers to be used on 
top of OpenEmbedded-Core [1]. Note that both layers also need meta-oe, a layer 
that is part of the meta-openembedded repository [2]. 

I'm working on these layers in my spare time and have already had some help 
from the community (thanks!), further help would be appreciated :)


meta-handheld
-----------------

Machine support layer for older handheld devices such as the Sharp Zaurus and 
HP iPAQ series. Many machines need testing and probably fixes here; there is 
active work on some machines (e.g. most Zaurus devices, hx4700).

Repository: http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/meta-handheld/
Issues: http://www.linuxtogo.org/gowiki/meta-handheld


meta-opie
------------

Recipes and associated metadata for building the Opie GUI environment[3] as 
well as associated Qtopia applications. Some recipes still need some cleanup 
but most are ready to be built with OE-core.

Repository: http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/meta-opie/
Issues: http://www.linuxtogo.org/gowiki/meta-opie


For more information either check out the "issues" pages above or the README 
document in each layer.

Cheers,
Paul
