Yes, I believe that was the intended usage: $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-lts-mixins -b dunfell/kernel meta-lts-kernel-mixin $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-lts-mixins -b dunfell/gizmo meta-lts-gizmo-mixin When TSC discussed the process for Mixin layers, we wanted them to be slim single-purpose layers and using branches instead of whole git repos seemed reasonable. Especially since we were not envisioning too many of them. But if it proves to be a problem in the future, we can certainly revisit it then. -- Regards, Denys Dmytriyenko <[email protected]> PGP: 0x420902729A92C964 - https://denix.org/0x420902729A92C964 Fingerprint: 25FC E4A5 8A72 2F69 1186 6D76 4209 0272 9A92 C964
