Who will maintain those layers after my leave? This was not decided yet. There are few guys at Linaro who know how to use OpenEmbedded but most of them is outside of Builds and Baselines team.
To me this implies that these layers and this effort of yours isn't part of any "official" Linaro build process/procedure. Would this assumption be correct?
No.
First Linaro layer for OpenEmbedded was created by Ken Werner from Toolchain Working Group as they considered OE as a test tool. Then AArch64 bootstrap was needed so I stepped in and took maintenance of it (Ken was not at Linaro at that time), added meta-aarch64, cleaned up etc.
Those layers are used as part of official Linaro build process. All AArch64 rootfs images are built using OpenEmbedded. Note that this excludes kernels which (for some reasons) were cross built as Ubuntu packages.
At Linaro we have many teams and some of them are using OpenEmbedded or will do it soon. One of reasons is lack of ARM big-endian distributions on a market.
Look at numbers from "git shortlog":
Marcin Juszkiewicz (341): Ken Werner (28): Riku Voipio (17): Khem Raj (7): Ricardo Salveti de Araujo (5): Fathi Boudra (2):
Ken is not at Linaro, Khem never was and those commits are fixes from him, Ricardo is back at Canonical. Riku has OE knowledge but also lot of other duties.
And so far only OpenSUSE has packages for AArch64 mass built while all Linaro tools were made for Ubuntu repositories...
