In the case of Angstrom, this basically stands as previously discussed.
It has a requirement on the meta-openembedded and the denzil version of
this is not compliant due to the mixture of recipes and policy. In
master, meta-systemd has been split out and therefore the 1.3 release of
angstrom/meta-openembedded should comply.

My recommendation is therefore we suggest Koen waits for 1.3 and then
Angstrom can comply with that. Alternatively, there could be significant
backporting to denzil, or Angstrom would remove the meta-oe to an
optional dependency but I can't see either of these happening.

There are some questions raised about the compliance of meta-yocto. That
has been cleaved into two pieces (meta-yocto for distro like pieces and
meta-yocto-bsp for the hardware support). This turned out to be wanted
by a variety of the community anyway and actually shows the compliance
criteria making a lot of sense.

Koen did ask me what was going on so I've explained what was been
discussed and my recommendation (along with the meta-yocto issues).
Obviously the board needs to make a decision which we can then pass on
officially to Koen.

Cheers,

Richard
