Actually, what's in the meta-crownbay-dylan tarball is meta-intel, with
just the meta-crownbay BSP included.  But it looks like there's a
problem with the naming of the top-level directory in the tarball:

$ ls meta-crownbay
binary  common  conf  MAINTAINERS  meta-crownbay  meta-tlk  README

whereas after untarring, I should have been able to do:

$ ls meta-intel
binary  common  conf  MAINTAINERS  meta-crownbay  meta-tlk  README

Beth or Nitin, can you please fix the tarballs so that the top-level
directory isn't the meta-BSPname but meta-intel (like they are for the
previous releases).

If you just rename the top-level directory to meta-intel rather than
meta-crownbay, things should be fine..

No, you shouldn't have problems - a given BSP should be good for the
same major release and all its point releases...

Thanks,
