3. lingering issues

a. SMART has replaced zypper (was documenting RPM and package feeds)
Paul wrote https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Smart_Repository_Setup
=> khem has gotten it to work, will update the docs
=> Paul to talk to scottrif about adding to docs

b. oe-classic recipe migration status
RP played with perl modules, fixed up cpan_build.bbclass
=> still needs to send some patches

c. systemd merge unhappiness
"people feel ignored and then being told they should have spoken up"
some concern about favoritism for patches
=> maintain a wiki page to summarize release goals (jefro)

d. oe.org flooded
refs to oe.org git should point to github
=> jefro to follow up with scottrif DONE
=> khem to fix the oe wiki and reminder to ml
possible to move server at some point?
=> jefro to investigate YP hosting, kernel.org mirror
