We can help you with the setup, but it REALLY shines in CI.  We use it for Gitlab CI, and I would highly recommend you do something similar.  See https://gitlab.com/jonmason00/meta-arm/-/pipelines for a publicly visible version of the CI we do for meta-arm.


Thanks for the reminder! I’ll take a look at the schedule. I put some time into bringing meta-mono CI under control recently. 

Would be very interesting to see what I’d have to do to tidy up and move to KAS…



Cheers,

Alex 

Thanks,
Jon

Hi Vincenzo,

The manifest is there to fetch the meta-arm layer as meta-morello
appends recipes found in the meta-arm's bsp, the manifest will also
fetch Yocto kirkstone and meta-morello itself. So at the end the developer will end up with a checkout of kirkstone with meta-arm and meta-morello placed inside its poky tree.

FWIW, in meta-arm we’re big fans of Kas (https://kas.readthedocs.io/).  It integrates with Yocto so does more than just fetching, and doesn’t involve another repository just for the manifest.
