Hi All,
I am looking for some feedback on yocto distribution installation and
deployment into corporate environment.
The context is the following: We will receive a commercial yocto
distribution from a third party in form of a CD/DVD every year with some
cumulative patches every months. This distribution will be used by
different projects within the company to make products
My concern is how to share/distribute this distribution with the
following objectives:
- Secure all dependencies on corporate network for product maintenance
purpose
- Easily access and installation of a given revision of the distribution
- Control disk space and avoid each project to duplicate the
distribution support
- Avoid lock down effect on third-party proprietary installation mechanism
I though about the following possibilities
1) Mirror all source code URLs including tarball delivery onto
corporate network
=> very costly, need to support all reference type of version control
system(Git, SVN, ....)
=> risk to miss mirroring one url
2) Put in source control (Git) the content of the "Downloads" directory
create by yocto
=> single Git may be very heavy with lot of binaries
=> Split Git but need then to use something to manage the forest like
google repo tool
3) Rely on docker image and create a new version of docker image for
each new distribution revision
=> working on a shell inside the docker image may be not much easy
since need to rely on external volumes to access user personal data or
environment
Thanks in advance for your return
BR
Olivier
