10.3. Source Code Manager (optional)

(almost vendor or product recipes)

  • get source files through an SCMS such as Git or Subversion or Mercurial

  • repository is cloned and/or checked out

Example

The meta/conf/layer.conf file may tells BitBake how to reach special (perhaps hidden) Git, Subversion, or Mercurial servers: 

CENTRAL_GIT ?= "git://10.20.30.40/services/git"
CENTRAL_SVN ?= "svn://10.20.30.40/services/svn"
CENTRAL_HG ?= "hg://10.20.30.40/services/hg"
