In Hob, we use a drop-down list to select your image. But with 19 base
images now available, we have already outgrown the capacity of this UI
widget (the guidelines recommend using them when you have between 3 and 10
items). I filed bug 2345 (nice number) to look at alternative ways of
presenting and selecting base images in Hob.
The solution I am looking at is based on grouping the base images. I
thought I might ask for some help from the list to create those groups.
This is what I've come up with:
Group 1: Stripped-down images. It includes:
core-image-base
core-image-basic
core-image-minimal
core-image-minimal-dev
core-image-minimal-initramfs
core-image-minimal-mtdutils
Group 2: GUI images. It includes:
core-image-clutter
core-image-core
core-image-sato
core-image-sato-dev
core-image-sato-sdk
qt4e-demo-image
Group 3: LSB-conforming. It includes:
core-image-lsb
core-image-lsb-dev
core-image-lsb-sdk
Group 4: For real-time use. It includes:
core-image-rt
core-image-rt-sdk
Group 5 is just the self-hosted-image
Group 6 would be the 'Create you own image' option
Any suggestions on how to better group these images and recommendations on
how to name the groups would be very welcome.
Thanks!

core-image-core is a console image so prolly move it to above group.

Thanks!
I'll move core-image-core to the stripped-down group.
We don't need to enforce a one to one relationship between images and
groups: an image could be in more than one group, so we could also create
a 'for development' group with all the sdk and dev images.
Any other suggestions on how to group the existing base images?
Cheers
Belen
