[Toaster] Building non-Git layers - Design review notes

[Barros Pena, Belen]

Thanks to all who attended the design review meeting yesterday, or gave me
feedback on the non-Git layers designs in some other way.

There is a document with the outcome of the design review in the Yocto
Project wiki

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/File:Design_review_outcome.pdf

It's not too long, so please read it and comment as needed.

Next step is agreeing on a list of Bugzilla features. This is a suggestion:

1. Import a layer that points to a directory instead of a Git repository.
Target release: 2.2

2. Build a layer that points to a directory instead of a Git repository.
Target release: 2.2

3. Edit the details of an imported layer, so that you can edit the source
code location details, and move between a local directory and a Git
repository.
Target release: 2.2

4. For imported layers, remember the previous values for directories and
Git repositories.
Target release: 2.3

5. Show all layer revisions supported by Toaster, not just the ones
compatible with the current project.
Target release: 2.3


We already have a Bugzilla entry for the Django fixtures work, targeting
the 2.2. release:

Thoughts?

Cheers
