In our development with Yocto, we use vendor provided layers. At this time we have to pull those manually (using git or submodule or other technics) to get the vendor layer on disk before bitbake can start. Does Yocto allow to automatically pull a yocto layer given a uri, branch and other information, similar way as it can pull the source of a package?This way, we could omit the vendor layer stuff from our git and instead have Yocto fetch the layer from its source (honoring all the premirror and mirror stuff). The layer specification would be similar to SRC_URI format with an additional parameter to indicate locally where to put the files, maybe with a default of vendor/<layer-name> structure? git://g...@mylayer.company.com/layer-name.git;protocol=ssh;branch=master This would pull into vendors/layer-name Prior to parse all reccipes?
Not part of the default Yocto setup, but what you are asking for seems to be a perfect fit for the [Android/Google] repo tool. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
