We've been gearing up the Toaster web UI to replace the Hob (GTK+ based) UI for some time now; Hob has basically been on life support for the past few releases. As of late last month in master, Toaster has the capability to select the packages in an image, removing the last thing that Hob could do that Toaster couldn't. To recap, the reasons why Hob is being removed include: - The code is tightly woven into BitBake, making it fragile. This means it needs significant QA and maintenance on an ongoing basis. - Some of the implementation is not ideal; we'll be able to remove some cruft from BitBake and OE-Core at the same time. - It's GTK+ 2 based, not the current GTK+ 3. - Toaster is now a much more capable UI and is being actively maintained The discussion about removing hob can be found at: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-architecture/2016-February/000082.html (Bitbake rev: be2cceea159c6ca9111eff3df87b98513eab6d72) Signed-off-by: bavery <brian.avery@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org> |
