If done right, one also does not have to deal with merge conflicts when using combo-layer. The advantage of combo-layer is that one can mix content from different repositories at the same level, for example maintain a top-level README file in your own distro-specific component repository (see how the poky repository is put together for an example). If you feel that git sub modules fit your needs better, sure, why not. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/dev
