Description Joshua Lock 2017-11-08 22:36:10 UTC 
Refactor our core build logic into a separate repository of scripts that can be branched in-tandem with project releases.

This will include:
a) dropping support for no-longer maintained releases
b) moving all shell commands to separate scripts, called by the buildsteps
c) splitting scripts into a separate repository with per-release series branches (keeping the scripts in-line with the equivalent branch in oe-core)
d) updating the autobuilder to fetch the appropriate branch of the ci-scripts repo

With the recent AB instability I'm not confident about landing this for M1.

The core build logic as employed by the yocto-autobuilder has been split out into a separate repository of helper scripts by Richard:
