Yocto, Poky and OE

[Andrea Adami]

Hi all,

my personal opinion is that we can't avoid to cooperate/merge with Yocto.

About the OE future after the merge, some points are still unclear to me and and I'd like to know how our OE representatives (TSC ?) will proceed.

My concerns are:

1) OE or Poky ?.
Which is the 'official' buildsystem? We don't need 2 buildsystems.
Reading e.g. statements as " At the core of Yocto is the Poky build system,..." sounds bitter.
While I understand the commercial reasons behind Poky, I cannot deny that the 'fork' done with Poky makes OE people a bit upset. Finally Poky consists of bitbake and modified OE metadata. While I give all merits to RP for his work,  IMHO the role Poky has in Yocto should be for OE (oe-core?).

2) Naming ot the layers
Perhaps I'm wrong but I feel that many OE people would prefer to see OE references instead of Poky's.
It's just a naming issue I think.

3) Official membership
I'd prefer an official memebership, not only a gentlemen's agreement.
Some members bring capital in the form of money, OE would bring hours spent on the metadata.
It's still capital.

Perhaps somebody already knows more...

Regards

Andrea
