Does anybody know why are we calling it 'self-hosted-image' in Hob and
'build-appliance' in the Yocto Project website? Wouldn't it be easier if
we used the same name everywhere? Which one should be used?
Thanks!

They are slightly different. The self-hosted-image is the recipe name
that generates the image. The build-appliance is the VMware OVF file
and bits needed to use VMPlayer or VMWorkstation. The self-hosted-image
is the underlying disk image used in the Build Appliance

Yes indeed, we should have consistent naming for this feature.
The problem is, neither name is very good.
"build-appliance" = an implication that the thing "just works" like an appliance should just work in your kitchen. Unfortunately, the name isn't very descriptive.
"Self-hosted-image" = a description of how the thing is constructed (it's a Linux OS which was constructed by the Yocto Project itself, and it builds using the Yocto Project).
So neither name is good, but build appliance is usually the one I use.
If anyone has a better name I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT. Otherwise please file a bug to change the self-hosted-image name to build appliance.

Hi Saul,
Thanks for explaining. But I must say: to an outsider, the existing naming
does not explain how these 2 things relate to each other.
We are adding a description of the 'self-hosted-image' to Hob, including a
link to the Build Appliance page in the Yocto Project website. But I am
not sure it will be enough to fully explain the relationship between both.
Is there any reason why the recipe and the ovf file need to have different
names?
Cheers

Dave Stewart has suggested to use Build Appliance everywhere unless
someone comes up with something better. I think build-appliance-image is
definitely better than self-hosted-image, so I'll ask that to be changed
in Hob as part of bug 2636.
About the description, this is what Scott has suggested:
'An image you can run using the Yocto Project Build Appliance. It boots
from VMware Player or VMware Workstation. For more details, visit the
Yocto Project Website.'
'visit the Yocto Project Website' would be a link to
http://www.yoctoproject.org/documentation/build-appliance
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

The term "self-hosted image" will need to be expunged from the docs. This should be mentioned in the bug as well.
