Hello everybody,
I am new here in this mailing list. We are starting to use Yocto/Poky for an embedded project, and we have the need to collect all source code in our SVN repository for the case internet is not available. I think using PREMIRRORS (and SSTATE_MIRRORS for speedup) is the right way?
How to create and maintain a local PREMIRRROR? What is the best practice? I'm pretty sure this is not the first time for this question, so can you give me some hints for a good documentation, or advices?
Thanx, Andi

For the premirrors, what I've done is start a new build directory.. setup my
DL_DIR to some place "safe".. and then do a "bitbake -c fetchall world"
I then export my DL_DIR for others via NFS, FTP, HTTPS, etc... whatever is
appropriate within your organization -- then everyone else uses PREMIRROR
settings to use that DL_DIR.
For the SSTATE_MIRROR, you can do something similar... but sstate_mirroring is
really only useful if everyone is on a fast link. In my experience anything
slower then a gigabit link and it's usually (not always) faster to compile stuff
locally, then pull from an sstate_mirror.
(Also if you have problems with an sstate_mirror, please let us know. Not a lot
of people are using them yet -- I had some issues w/ 1.1 and the sstate being
used by multiple userids, but I believe these are resolved in newer versions.)

Thx Mark, I will try it. One more question: which files are really required for the mirrors?
Only the archives or the "done" files, patch files, patch result files etc?

I believe you don't need the done files. I'm not sure about the others. (I
didn't remove them in my usage, as they're small enough and they allow me to use
the DL_DOWNLOAD to keep the mirror up to date.)

All [true] files at the top level of 'downloads', except for the .done ones
This does include some patches (bash!) and mostly tarballs.

that's how it appears to me. it's enough to check the recipe files
to see the values in SRC_URI to verify what should be in the
premirror.
