I run a build system instance that simply downloads all the sources and places them on a local mirror. The only thing to think about is that if you have different targets they might require different source packages albeit there is always a larger overlap of packages that are always required. However, it's not too big of a problem launching the 'fetcher' instance repeatedly with different target since only what's missing will of course be downloaded.
Another layer of complexity is of course added if you work with different versions of YP and OE layers. I solve this with Gitlab and submodules. A target project is a repo in Gitlab and the YP/OE layers are submodules. Gitlab handles that quite nicely. :rjs ----- Rudolf J Streif CEO/CTO ibeeto +1.855.442.3386 x700
