[meta-freescale] [meta-fsl-demos][PATCH 0/7] Packagegroups and images refactoring - step 2

[Otavio Salvador]

Hello Rogerio,

First I'd like to thank you for this work. I know how much thinking
and work is needed to  a nice patchset and flexible set of
packagegroups and images.

Good remark. I also think we ought to plan to drop the old images when
those are complete. The proposed images provides a much better set of
features and are faster to build (due its focus in the really need
packages) so I think it'd be a good goal for near future.

I think the changes you have to do are minimal and Daiane has provided
a good review on those; it would be good if you could prepare a v2 to
address those and then we can get it merged in master-next for
testing.

What do you think?
