2. new issues

 a. RFC for the secondary toolchain (fray)
    how to document as best practice?
        possibly sample secondary toolchain layer as template
        no changes to oe-core, possibly add an include file
-> in progress

 b. RPM and package feeds
        packages_rpm, rootfs_rpm doesn't use Zypper
        fray proposes replacing with SMART after 1.3 release
        smaller footprint, python based
        -> fray will write proposal after 1.3
-> in progress

 c. patchwork queue
    bluelightning did a massive clearout of patchwork, got rid of 3 pages
    a number of oe-classic patches left
    koen notes that git hooks catch only 80% of patches, and then only for master
    known to fail with accented names
=> koen to go through what is left in patchwork for meta-oe
=> bluelightning to send note to ml re oe-classic patches

 d. raise ntp with the Yocto Project [RP]
