[yocto-ab] Fwd: Re: [yocto] RFC: User configurable recipe features

[Philip Balister]

I'd like to bring this to the attention of the .com AB members.

Please ask people working with Yocto to check for existing community
efforts before starting on a particular feature, you could save yourself
some time and trouble :)

Phil and Darren are now aware of each others work. Hopefully, this helps
both of them.

Philip

I wish I had run across this a few months ago. meta-micro in fact has
both an eglibc and a uclibc distro definition. I haven't tried a build,
but it does seem to be attempting the same basic thing as meta-tiny -
only in a more generally usable way.

This is fine as the end result of meta-tiny is likely to be some
improved configuration mechanisms for things like busybox, libc, and the
kernel, which should prove useful to meta-micro as well.

Thanks,
