My guess is the project would not be happy about a large zip file in a git repository. If a patch becomes too big, or if a recipe needs too many patches, the general consensus is to create a repository with the patches and keep the metadata small. On the other hand, exceptions abound. > I don't know about best practices surrounding this, I kindly apologize if > it's strictly forbidden!

The yoctoproject maintains a source mirror, the best bet is to ask that the sources be mirrored there. The recipe will probably be expected to stay as-is, and the yocto backup used if/when the primary is down. -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
