Sub-directories from Git in SRC-URI

Sub-directories from Git in SRC-URI

Hallo,

May I now is it possible to include a sub-directory from git repo in the SRC_URI of bitbake recipe.

Also in SRC_URI is it possible to include a directory instead of a single file?

I know I could create a tar file of a directory and include it , but I would like to know is it possible to include directory as a SRC_URI.

Hi,

Here is one way to manage this use case.
In the SRC_URI variable, you set the git repo access.
Now let's say that your sub-directory relative path is "src/myapp".
Son now you just have to add to your recipe this line:

S = "${WORKDIR}/git/src/myapp"

It is not optimized from a disk usage point of view (a full copy of the repo files is in ${WORKDIR}/git) but it works.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I had thought about using this solution initially. In my case I have a common git repo for some 20 different applications and planning to write an individual recipe for each application.

If I plan to use in this way, I have 20 copies in my disk which I don't want to have.

Hi,

You might want to take a look at bitbake's documentation:

https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.0/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#gitsm-fetcher

It actually has a git submodules fetcher (gitsm://). I haven't used it, but
it should be straightforward.

Regards,
Miguel Aveiro

Following Miguel Aveiro's link, I noticed a parameter called subpath that I had never see:
https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual.html#git-fetcher
This parameter may provide you the feature you are looking for.

if you have a setup where you checkout this component yourself e.g.
using android repo or gitsm to manage your yocto setup then you can
simply point your recipes to use file:// fetcher or even resort to
externalsrc to build in recipes where you point S to this common
directory for multiple recipes. I for one however like to defer the
fetching to bitbake in that case it will really fetch your component
once but will make copies locally for each component it builds. It may
not be as bad now a days with shared state and if the components are
not built so often its only a occasional thing.
