Gary, you're better off ignoring Koen.
Apparently he hasn't taken his medicine this morning.
And, frankly speaking, the reply above is among hismore friendly ones.
His mission in life seems to be to drive everyone away from OE (unless
of course you're one of his fan-boys). Guess he tries to pull the same
trick with poky/yocto.
Sometimes I really pity Richard, having to deal with someone like Koen..

And remember, have fun!
