IMHO, as we continuously add support for more platforms and even more boards, it will become untenable to maintain these wiki pages. Something similar to 'testdrive' for Ubuntu is required for the next cycle.
Why can't l-m-c ask some basic questions and just DTRT? Questions would be:
- What SoC?
- What board?
- What release (milestone)?
- Image type (headless, alip, qemu, etc.)
Each of these would be a multiple choice question. This should get rid of the several levels of indirection required just to download all the right components before trying to prepare an image.
This would make l-m-c an unmaintainable beast IMHO. It is all about creating the boot media, not acquiring the components needed for this.
However it might not be a bad thing to have a separate script that asks those questions and just downloads the components, particularly if that script could be data driven and easy to maintain.
