[yocto] what's the best distro to pick for adding packages to yocto

2013-01-31 Thread Tim Coote
Hullo
I'm trying to add a package to yocto (an AMQP implementation). There are 
various packaged versions, so I started with the one that I'm most familiar 
(RH). However, it's pretty clear that yocto's not based on that as the 
initscripts are totally different and missing the framework (there isn't even a 
/etc/rc.d/init.d, although it looks like there used to be).

What's the best starting point for picking a prepackaged version for a distro? 
debian? suse?

thanks
Tim

Historically Debian is fairly close, but these days that isn't really
true.  It's probably best to look at an existing init script to see
*what* needs to be done, and then copy the style of existing scripts
in Yocto for *how* to do it.
