Hi, The TSC has been tasked with working out how OE and Yocto could work together and people have no doubt seen the discussions about OE-Core.
We're now pleased to formally announce that we feel OE-Core is ready for exposure to more users and we'd like to encourage people to have a look at it and experiment and develop with it. Just to recap on the background for this, splitting up OE into components has been a topic of discussion for a long time, certainly at every OEDEM. Until now this hasn't happened partly due to resource issues but also lack of tooling and the lack of a well thought out plan. We now feel these issues have been addressed and that we have a good plan in place. The promotion and use of layers is the only real way OE can scale as a project yet stay maintainable and testable. Things that aren't part of oe-core fall to the meta-oe layer which is where we intend the current wider support contained in oe-devel to be maintained. The people working on meta-oe so far would love to see more contributions. Both repositories are currently working on a "pull" model and people using them so far have felt a benefit to this for code quality. Discussion and development on oe-core is happening on the openembedded-core mailing list since otherwise it would be hard to filter out which patches and discussion were for which repository. We look forward to seeing more people getting involved there!
