This also makes it more clear what's MeeGo and what`s the HW integration layer.
But I can guess there will be some issues with OBS structure and project dependencies(circular). Maybe someone with more OBS insight can confirm or reject this. /R > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Marko Saukko > Sent: den 10 juni 2010 12:17 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [MeeGo-dev] Separate device specific repositories... > > Hi, > > I want to raise discussion about the repositories, especially the > structure of Core repository.
