Agreed.  That is kind of where we are at.  Yes, these closed source
layers/packages simply point to closed source repos.  I need them to
prepare pre-compiled archives for these packages that can be overlaid
into our rootfs, and to make the build process use these local
archives instead of attempting real builds on those packages.  Then I
don't believe it is any longer an issue.

They gave us the kernel source but there are sysadmin apps and
libraries that talk to their FPGA that they haven't shared the
contents thereof.
