In our development with Yocto, we use vendor provided layers. At this time we
have to pull those manually (using git or submodule or other technics) to get
the vendor layer on disk before bitbake can start. Does Yocto allow to
automatically pull a yocto layer given a uri, branch and other information,
similar way as it can pull the source of a package?
This way, we could omit the vendor layer stuff from our git and instead have
Yocto fetch the layer from its source (honoring all the premirror and mirror
stuff). The layer specification would be similar to SRC_URI format with an
additional parameter to indicate locally where to put the files, maybe with a
default of vendor/<layer-name> structure?
git://[email protected]/layer-name.git;protocol=ssh;branch=master
This would pull into
vendors/layer-name
Prior to parse all reccipes?
