**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Dec 31 03:00:01 2016 Dec 31 03:46:23 Is there a standard way to fetch/sync a set of layers when doing a yocto based project? I'm using 'repo' at the moment but would be curious to hear what others are using Dec 31 03:47:43 no standard, no. it varies. a fair number of folks use repo directly. others use submodules or other alternatives. wind river recently published a tool that constructs a repo manifest for you by pulling things from a layer index Dec 31 03:54:03 The repo manifests seem to be working out ok. I've got a git project which only contains manifests. Though because the manifest rarely changes, I can't use anything to trigger a CI build of my project other than a periodic trigger. Dec 31 03:54:46 Maybe if I had a top-level project with git-submodules, I could use changes in this project to trigger a rebuild. Dec 31 04:15:31 catch22: depending on the CI tool you can add customization to how the jobs are triggered. i know you can arrange for jenkins to do a repo manifest -r -o - to dump the manifest with locked down revs, and use that to trigger it Dec 31 04:18:06 Yeah I saw the repo manifest dump option which I thought would be good for capturing the versions use for a project release Dec 31 04:20:34 I was hoping to use gitlab + docker for a ci build. The CROPS group has some nice docker images for doing yocto builds. Dec 31 04:22:26 this builds poky in the crops images - https://goo.gl/Attvi7 Dec 31 04:23:17 Still trying to figure out how I want it to work. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jan 01 03:00:00 2017
