By splitting into a separate +layer, it's hoped people realise these may not be the best solution to the +"no GPLv3 problem" and it should also make it clear there is a different quality of +service applied to these recipes. + +For now, they do continue to get minimal testing by the Yocto Project but this will +eventually be stopped, with anyone wanting to use them taking up the maintainership. + +The current maintainer for the layer is Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org> + +Where to Send Patches +===================== + +For now, patches should be sent to the Yocto mailing list with [meta-gplv2] in the subject +line. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current master branch of the +git repository. + + Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/meta-gplv2/ + Mailing list: yocto@lists.yoctoproject.org |
