Toaster 1.9 design
Image customisation high level design
The document below is the outcome of the initial design discussions about image customisation with Toaster. By image customisation we mean the ability to create a customised image recipe by specifying the list of packages it will install.

Some early thoughts on changes and new functionality
The existing navigation system is too simple and will not cope well with the addition of new functionality. We are planning to add a global navigation and change the project navigation.
Users
The page that lists existing Toaster users. You can create new users, give them read only access (by project), or 2 different levels of write access: "can create projects" and "Toaster administrator".
Image customisation
You can currently add packages to any image you build by setting IMAGE_INSTALL_append in Toaster. That's clumsy and quite limited. We would like to provide a better way to do image customisation. You start from one of the core Yocto Project images, and you can add remove packages and recipes from / to it. You can then save your changes as a new image recipe that will be added to your own custom layer.
