I.e. problems, issues, etc from the usage of oe-core within the Poky use. The confusion currently comes from many of the oe-core items used to live in the Poky domain, and no longer due. Unfortunately this will take a bit of education for folks who don't contribute daily so that they know which mailing list to use. (In otherwords the Poky list still has it's place, but only for Poky specific discussions.) --Mark

We're trying to make this simpler over time: bitbake changes -> bitbake-devel Any code in oe-core -> oe-core list Anything in poky not in oe-core/bitbake -> poky list Cheers, Richard

So presumably this would mean: if it's about a recipe that is not in OE-core, it's Poky-specific? Which would also mean that discussion about anything in the bitbake classes belongs on OE-core as well, yes? Scott
