Subject: Re: [RFC] Request to move MinPlatformPkg out of the Intel folder
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2020 11:24:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <SA0PR12MB45257318F5C225C80FB20BCE85300@SA0PR12MB4525.namprd12.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <MWHPR1101MB21606390CFD0ECCE741932CACD330@MWHPR1101MB2160.namprd11.prod.outlook.com>

We have recently been evaluating the merits of MinPlatformPkg.  We would welcome a MinPlatformPkg that is more accessible.

> edk2-platforms/Platform/Intel/build_bios.py to edk2-platforms/Platform as
> well since those are all useful for building MinPlatform based firmware, but I
