Description Joshua Lock - Disabled 2011-07-22 15:39:50 UTC
Perhaps we could offer tooltips showing the SUMMARY or DESCRIPTION. We'd need to audit the image recipes in OE core and Yocto to make this worthwhile.
Comment 1 Jessica 2011-10-19 15:06:47 UTC
currently in the hob Base Image drop down list there're core-image-base, core-image-minimal, core-image-core, core-image-basic, which are not very meaningful what their contents are, so need more desc info regarding each image profile, would be better to audit the image profiles and do some consoliation
Comment 2 Shane Wang 2011-12-20 06:35:48 UTC
Keep it open, and the hints for base images are in our plan.
Comment 3 Shane Wang 2012-02-06 03:47:53 UTC
The patch for bitbake is in master: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=a95445cf7b2fdb3a3434e04e0d06a748c58fe527

The patch for meta is also in master:
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=127d1fd1c2771e732f7b8b8699352e855a308cae

The only left is a patch for Hob2, which would be together with Hob2 patch.

Development Done, in: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=shane/hob2-v0.52
Comment 5 Jiajun Xu 2012-03-14 15:18:36 UTC
I could verify the feature is there since there are guidance for base image in my testing against master for 1.2 M3.
Comment 6 Shane Wang 2012-03-21 02:36:57 UTC
Mark it fixed.
Comment 7 Joshua Lock - Disabled 2012-04-18 00:05:28 UTC
Guidance text is displayed in Hob when an image is selected.
