Yes. > repository under his control? No. Bitbake (the tool that operates against OE metadata) is in a subversion repository at http://developer.berlios.de/. The OpenEmbedded metadata repository is in a bitkeeper repository at http://openembedded.bkbits.net/. Neither of which have anything to do with the handhelds.org admins. For a time there was a CVS _mirror_ of upstream on handhelds.org, but that was only as a service to make people's lives easier, and was never the correct means of pushing things upstream. Snapshots of the upstream bk repo are available as well, and patches sent to the OE mailing list or given to us by other means are likely to be applied. > You can tell me all you want that familiar is where its at, but that > does not make it true.

I did not say to "just use" those packages. The point was that the OE metadata makes more sense as a starting point for your endeavors than Debian does. You're welcome to disagree, and go do your own thing. I just hate seeing people wasting time and energy reinventing the wheel needlessly.
