Re: [poky] One recipe for fetch a bigger repo, multiple recipes to build parts of it

Hi Alex,
well download may indeed happened just once, but isn't in each recipe
the git folder with it's complete content?
Maybe I described it misleading:
So it is not about download, but about the amount of storage needed for
each recipe. Assuming 10 recipes using same main repo, in each of the
../build/tmp/<recipe-name>/<tag>+gitAUTOINC+<git-hash>/git
I see the full checked out repo.
Best regards,
