In gitsm mode, where the .submodules file is used, how/who defines what is and isn't required? As far as I know it's used or it's not. To my knowledge, when you run git submodule, anything in .submodules is processed. Thus they are all 'required'. Move from gitsm:// to git:// says "I'm never going to use the .submodule file", and thus moves this ownership from the repository owner (.submodule file) to the recipe owner. > 2.

If the submodules are not part of the SBOM, then it's a bug in the SBOM creation. This is a separate issue, one that should be identified and fixed. --Mark > > Regards > Vishwa > > > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > Links: You receive all messages sent to this group. > View/Reply Online (#13254): https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/poky/message/13254 > Mute This Topic: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/mt/104389390/3616948 > Group Owner: [email protected] > Unsubscribe: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/poky/unsub [[email protected]] > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >
