Hi all, >>
I'm very happy to announce that we've finally been able to upgrade the layer
index at http://layers.openembedded.org to the latest revision on master,
incorporating quite a bit of work that's been going on for the past few
months. Improvements now visible:
Nice new features, thanks!
The "Branch:" and "Filter layers" selection menus don't work
for me when using Firefox 62.0 (64-bit) on Ubuntu-18.04.
Google Chrome Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)
works fine.

* Patch tracking - each recipe detail page now lists any patches being applied
by the recipe along with upstream status for each - see attached screenshot.
You can click through to view/download the actual patch, and any URLs in the
supplemental status text are also made into clickable links.
* Source tracking - remote entries in SRC_URI are now listed on the recipe
detail page and made into clickable links where possible - see attached
screenshot
* Link to inc files - there is now a link in the recipe detail page to any inc
files that a recipe includes as long as they are in the same directory, as a
shortcut to see the rest of the definitions for the recipe.
* Recipe list CSV export - there is now an "Export CSV" button at the top of
the recipe list on the layer detail page. This currently includes the recipe
name and version - we could look at extending this, but note that the REST API
provides access to all of the information programmatically and may be better
suited for many applications that need this data.
* Site-wide notice support - admins can now add notifications to appear at the
top of the page across the entire site. This is useful in the case where there
is some problem with the update process or maintenance is going on as happens
from time to time.
* Bootstrap 3 - the UI has been updated to use Bootstrap 3 from version 2 that
we were using previously. This has made a fairly minor difference to the UI
(padding/spacing/fonts have changed a little) but has allowed us to tidy up a
few things in the code.
* The "Base" layer type is no longer selectable for layer submissions. I
noticed people sometimes selected this erroneously; it's only applicable for
openembedded-core and meta-oe basically so that they show up at the top of the
layer list. Only admins can now select this type for a layer.
* Numerous other bugfixes, robustness improvements and code cleanups.
Thanks very much to everyone who has contributed to the layer index code up to
now (and to BitBake / tinfoil, which we rely upon to extract the information
from the metadata), but I'd like to give particular thanks to Michael
Halstead, Yi Zhao, Konrad Scherer, Robert Yang and Aníbal Limón for making
this upgrade possible.
Paul, and everyone above, many thanks for your contributions to the
Layer Index which is definitely a great tool for our community! It
encourages and simplifies reuse and sharing of all recipes! The update
looks really good, and as Andreas says, the top #3 features will make
a big difference.
Also integrated were the Recipe Reporting System (RRS) which powers
http://recipes.yoctoproject.org and other distro comparison support, but these
will take a bit more time to properly enable so I'll send out a separate email
with further details when they are ready.
As always, please let me know if you have any comments or notice any issues.
(I've already seen a few minor problems in the update logs so I'll be looking
into those.)
Cheers,
Paul
