To reduce the fetch time would that make sense to - fetch gcc/glibc & co from the archive of a stable version and then apply patches on top of it (maybe patches stored in an archive fetched from oe's website and applied in bulk or patches stored in OE) - do the same thing for the linux-yocto kernel or add a --reference option to the git fetcher so that we can provide a local tree as a reference ? Do you have other ideas (appart from using a local mirror) to optimize the fetch time ? Thanks, Eric
