The machine defintions are not generic enought #3

Closed AlbanBedel closed 2 years ago

AlbanBedel commented 3 years ago

The machine definitions and include for the COMs are setting many things not strictly related to the hardware support like IMAGE_FSTYPE or DISTRO_FEATURES. This make it difficult to create other machine definitions that don't impact the distro related settings and easily integrate with another distro.

Ideally the machine definitions should strictly limit themself to low level settings such as kernel and bootloader providers, but it is especially important for the COM include to only contain the bare minimum to allow using them when creating new machine definitions.

I ended up copying the include file into my own layer in order to modify IMAGE_FSTYPES and IMAGE_INSTALL.

That is not how it should work.
