I spent last week gathering feedback from my first design proposal about how to build non-Git layers with Toaster. For some background, the first design proposal is here
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/toaster/2016-June/004855.html The main point from the feedback was that the design was unnecessarily complicated: it provided options that were unlikely to be widely used. It also allowed users to change the data coming from the layer index, and that made some people a bit uncomfortable: they thought that data constitutes a baseline and a safe point of return for users, so it should be kept "sane". I agree with both points, so I set to work on a version 2 that addressed them. A new explanatory video is available at https://youtu.be/z5wVjBwJDzY We will be discussing both design proposals in the upcoming design review call, which is open to everybody. This is your chance to get your hands dirty with design stuff, if you are so inclined. These are the call details: Date: Thursday, July 7th Time: 4:00 PM BST (8:00 AM PST, 8:30 PM IST) Tel: 1-888-875-9370/916-356-2663 Bridge: 4 Passcode: 1434913 If you are coming, please make sure to watch both videos beforehand (they amount to about 15 minutes, so I hope it's not too much to ask).
