As far as u-boot and panda concerns. I don't care any more. If that is the way TI employees want to support their customers, it is their choice, not mine. Wrt the source mirror. I would suggest to use http://sources.openembedded.org/ as official OE mirror. We could use the angstrom mirror as starting point to further populate the OE mirror. Alternately I have a fair amount of tarballs etc that I can contribute (also some for the older days, but none related to opie like things) And of course someone could also do a fetchall or so (I seem to recall Martin already did soemthing like that in the past) Best regards, Frans. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
