Hi Belen,

I only know there have two variables we get from the bitbake to charge which 
image is runnable, now.
"RUNNABLE_IMAGE_TYPES" = ext3, ext2, "RUNNABLE_MACHINE_PATTERNS" = qemu.

Thanks!

Subject: live image types and qemu machines

Hi all,

The current Hob allows you to build images for a qemu machine selecting 'live' 
as your image type. To me (with my pitiful knowledge) this doesn't make much 
sense: would I want to deploy an image built for a virtualisation environment 
in a real piece of hardware?

So here goes a question: should we allow Hob users, who are mainly people new 
to the Yocto project, to select the 'live' image type when building images for 
qemu machines?

This might sound like a silly question, but it has a pretty big impact on the 
Settings dialog and on the number of variations we need to create for our 
'Image details' screen, which appears after the build finishes and displays 
logical next steps (like run the image or deploy your image to external 
storage).

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Belen
