This is the starting point for the implemention described in [YOCTO 3847] which came to the conclusion that it would make sense to use kickstart syntax to implement image creation in OpenEmbedded. I subsequently realized that there was an existing tool that already implemented image creation using kickstart syntax, the Tizen/Meego mic tool. As such, it made sense to use that as a starting point - this commit essentially just copies the relevant Python code from the MIC tool to the scripts/lib dir, where it can be accessed by the previously created wic tool. Most of this will be removed or renamed by later commits, since we're initially focusing on partitioning only. Care should be taken so that we can easily add back any additional functionality should we decide later to expand the tool, though (we may also want to contribute our local changes to the mic tool to the Tizen project if it makes sense, and therefore should avoid gratuitous changes to the original code if possible). Added the /mic subdir from Tizen mic repo as a starting point: git clone git://review.tizen.org/tools/mic.git For reference, the top commit: commit 20164175ddc234a17b8a12c33d04b012347b1530 Author: Gui Chen <gui.chen@intel.com> Date: Sun Jun 30 22:32:16 2013 -0400 bump up to 0.19.2 Also added the /plugins subdir, moved to under the /mic subdir (to match the default plugin_dir location in mic.conf.in, which was renamed to yocto-image.conf (moved and renamed by later patches) and put into /scripts.

README
Poky ==== Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration. Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project. The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/ Where to Send Patches ===================== As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams. bitbake: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org meta-yocto: poky@yoctoproject.org Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository. openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
