Hob was created as a simple build utility. The goal was making the process of running your first Yocto Project build as easy as possible, and that's all it does. Toaster aims to be a web interface to the build system (that loosely meaning OE and BitBake). The goal is to structure it as a set of modules that do different things. One of those modules will allow you to configure and run builds, so that module will probably grow to the point where it will do exactly what Hob does, and then Toaster will replace Hob. But that point is not 1.7, I'm afraid, so Hob is not being replaced by Toaster yet. If this needs to be clarified, I can add a "Hob's twisted relationship with Toaster" section in the website and wiki explaining the above. >unless you follow the link to the >wiki toaster page: > >https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Toaster That wiki page says: "This project was formerly known as Web Hob / Webhob / webhob, and you may still find references to the old name in the documentation." It was not our intention to say that "Toaster is a replacement for Hob", so if that's how it reads, we better change it! :) Cheers Belén > > oh, and that internal projects page also goes on about eglibc, with >no mention that there is no further development planned for eglibc. > >rday > >-- > >======================================================================== >Robert P.
