The fact that git submodules: a) universally suck b) behave wildly different between git versions The first version of the angstrom setup scripts used git submodules, but I quickly found that I as well as my coworkers are too stupid to deal with them properly, so we wrote an awk script to manage the layers. It's a red flag that only very recent git versions have the 'git clone --recursive' feature. It shows that git developers are either really, really disciplined or don't use submodules themselves. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
