+The original implementation of `meta-ros` for ROS 1 Indigo Igloo
+(<https://github.com/bmwcarit/meta-ros> was transferred here on 2019-06-25. It
+is in the process of being upgraded to be able to build current ROS 1 and ROS 2
+distros (Crystal Clemmys, Dashing Diademata, and eventually Melodic Morenia and
+Bouncy Bolson) from recipes generated by
+[superflore](https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/superflore/) and might not be
+usable for a little while. Please see this
+[wiki page](https://github.com/ros/meta-ros/wiki/Superflore-OE-Recipe-Generation-Scheme)
+for details of what is being done.

 This is a layer to provide ROS Indigo Igloo in an OpenEmbedded Linux system.
-It provides a stable cross-compilation build system for many common ROS packages.
