following up on a thread from the bitbake dev ML, what is the
purpose of actual tarballs in the OE dev repository?
$ find . -name *tar.gz
./recipes/firmwares/marvell-gspi-fw/9.70.3-p37.tar.gz
./recipes/firmwares/marvell-sdio-fw/9.70.3-p37.tar.gz
./recipes/x-load/files/x-loader-03.00.00.01.tar.gz
./recipes/sgalib/sgalib-0.1.0/sgalib-0.1.0.tar.gz
./recipes/qpealarmclock/qpealarmclockapplet-1.0.9/missing-files.tar.gz
./recipes/zaurus-utils/files/gnu-tar.gz
$
$ find . -name *tar.bz2
./recipes/powervr-drivers/omap3-sgx-modules/omap3-sgx-modules-1.3.13.1607.tar.bz2
./recipes/supertux/files/supertux-smallsize-data.tar.bz2
$
i assume they're there because they're not available for
unrestricted download from somewhere on the net, but is that the case
for all of them? shouldn't some of them be moved into a net repo
somewhere?

If they have otherwise no home on the net, I'm sure we can provide hosting somewhere. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
