I'm sorry, I confused you mentioned term sysroot. It's not about yocto - we just use the same term because it's very similar to how it works into yocto. We got packages as a result of yocto build and use these artefacts (packages) on next stage to populate software components content. For some reason we can't use the same approach with hardlink to deduplicate components content.
