colleague asked me yesterday about the fundamental difference between using SRC_URI to point at a local source tree to build, versus inheriting externalsrc, and when to use each.
from what i read, there's no serious difference as, by default, both techniques copy the source tree under WORKDIR -- the major difference is that externalsrc can be configured to build in the source directory via EXTERNALSRC_BUILD, which is something i would discourage anyway. apart from that, is there an argument for one over the other depending on the circumstances? rday
