New Community Repository

See new meta-tegra-community repository at https://github.com/OE4T/meta-tegra-community

• Meant for packages which:
  • Have additional dependencies beyond the layers required for https://github.com/OE4T/meta-tegra/
  • Need additional ability/knowledge/resrouces to maintain, may not meet the same requirements for maintenance or support across platforms and releases as https://github.com/OE4T/meta-tegra/
• Preferred using a new repository rather than dynamic layers because:
  • Recipes are more difficult to find due to the extra layer of indirection.
  • Dependencies on multiple layers are more difficult to express.
