I wonder if this might be relevant, and if they might adapt the WindRiver Linux platform builder for use in Meego?

Personally, I prefer Debian derived distros and don't run anything RedHatish on any of my boxen. I'm concerned for the future of our community, the distro(s) and the devices we have. Today doesn't feel like a good day in that respect.
Oh please, for the love of Zod, don't let the Wind River guys near anything you hold dear. For an operating system that costs thousands of dollars, it's really bad. I've found and fixed things like unclosed 'extern "C" {' in VxWorks header files; stuff beginners would be chided for; who knows what goes on in more important pieces of their code . . .
