I believe so. Bruce and I can use kernel.org for now. Tom and I can use personal branches in meta-intel. But I'd like to see a solution here before we see widespread use of kernel.org and github to manage git trees as it will be collectively a lot more work to move people to the new infrastructure - and we'll lose some mindshare in the meantime. -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center Yocto Project - Linux Kernel _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list [email protected] https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
