Hi,

At the moment if a layer doesn’t have enough volume to justify a dedicated 
mailing list for patches (see, for example, [email protected] 
<mailto:[email protected]>) then the convention is that the 
patches can be sent to [email protected] 
<mailto:[email protected]>.

However, that’s also the list that we encourage users of Yocto to use for help, 
so the list has a mix of patches for various layers and people asking for help, 
which isn’t ideal: users who want help don’t want to be flooded with patches 
for layers they’re not using, layer maintainers may not want to see the 
requests for help, and people who want the status reports have to receive 
patches and support.

The Yocto TSC has been discussing this, and as a solution to this we’ve just 
created a new mailing list: [email protected] 
<mailto:[email protected]>.  This list is specifically for 
Yocto-related projects which don’t have their own mailing list or other patch 
submission process.   We ask that all layers currently using yocto@ for patches 
move to yocto-patches@, so that yocto@ can be used purely for discussion and 
other non-patch related subjects.

Many thanks,
Ross
Yocto TSC member
