meta-ti already has many official public and non-public mirrors - from git.yoctoproject.org, to git.ti.com, to internal bitbucket, etc. What you are doing is a local clone or even a fork, even if you are using it as a local mirror for your project. I would refrain from calling it a mirror in public due to possible confusion. The existing official mirrors are all push based and are always up-to-date. Where your copy is pull based and depends on how often and for how long you are going to update it. This has happened in the past, where people would make claims in public that meta-ti is dead and no longer maintained, as it hasn't been updated in years, linking to some obscure fork on github or gitlab that they came across somehow... -- Denys
