kickstarts and adaptations

Hi all,
right now most of the images, x86 and some of the arm ones are created from a
series of kickstart files in the plasma-active-kickstart, legacy-kickstarts
subdirectory.
as the name "legacy" says, there are better ways to do that.
I recreated the info for creating images in the form of yaml files, still in
the plasma-active-kickstart repo.
That's for coherence with Nemo:
It has a general yaml file plus one yaml file for each hardware adaptation:
in this way it will be possible to produce a kickstart file for each device
with a single command, you can try it with:
mer-kickstarter -e . -c latest-devel/plasma-active-latest-devel.yaml -o
active-latest-ks/
as a bonus it uses now all yaml adaptation files from Nemo, gaining support
for n900,950,pandaboard and an image optimized for virtual machines (with
virtualbox tools and stuff)
Since we have now contributions of adaptations to new devices such as the
nexus7, it would be cool if everything will go there, so will be possible to
better track what are all the devices where active works, and make easier for
people to contribute and build images themselves.
It's still not perfect, but i would like to switch the weekly devel images to
this asap.
Cheers,
Marco Martin
