Potential Yocto Project 1.2 Features

Yocto Project 1.2 - Target release = April 2012

Yocto Project 1.2 Themes

The topics below are the themes that some members of the team have started brainstorming for Yocto Project v1.2. These will be improved with community input.

Yocto Project 1.2 Objectives

The objectives of the Yocto 1.2 release are to increase adoption of the Yocto Project.

Yocto Project 1.2 Theme List

The Yocto Project 1.2 Themes towards the Objectives listed above are:

  • Improved usability of the build system for new experienced users, new novice users and existing users.

Process for Entering New Feature Requests

  • Open a bug in the Yocto bugzilla setting the type of bug to be an "enhancement" request. The detail about the request should be included in the bugzilla report.
  • Create a new entry in the appropriate feature table below (Poky, SDK, Hardware)
    • Suggestion: start by copying an existing request as a template
  • Give the feature a short, descriptive name
  • Set the priority as appropriate (see the legend below)
  • Set the Status to "Review"
  • In the Source field, enter your name along with the origination of the request (e.g. OSV, OEM, Community) if applicable; provide as much detail here as you can
  • In the Comments / Bugzilla field, provide any additional information for the request includind a link to a bugzilla entry
  • Preview your Entry to make sure it looks ok and then save it

Legend

Priority: 1 = Must have, 2 = Nice to have but wouldn't block a release, 3 = Lower priority, desired, defined plan, 4 = Worthwhile ideas, no defined plan

Status: Accept = Engineering agreement to include in release, Review = Under Review for Inclusion in this release, Reject = Will not be included in this release

Sample Table

This is a sample table to show how to submit features.
