The alternatesrc is also way faster than managing local layer just to re-specify the git location.
The ALTERNATESRC can be automatically calulated such as inherit alternatesrc ALTERNATESRC="$YOURROOT/$P" As such all recipe looks the same, and if you do git clone URI $YOURROOT/$P locally, the yocto build use your code, you fix, commit, push, then you can keep the folder there or you can remove it. If you do remove it, next build use your git URI as before and you are testing that your previous push made it to the server. Way faster than changing recipe in private layer or not. In any case, the idea of this system is to be flexible and sharing it with you should enable other to gain development speed from that. ________________________________ From: yocto-boun...@yoctoproject.org <yocto-boun...@yoctoproject.org> on behalf of Koehler, Yannick (HPN Aruba) Sent: May 18, 2017 6:12:13 PM To: Joshua Watt Cc: yocto@yoctoproject.org Subject: Re: [yocto] [poky/classes] [PATCH] new alternatesrc.bbclass Sounds great, but I have to deal with à team of buildroot beliver, as such, askibg dev to setup their own layrr manually is too complexe for them.

FWIW, our devs keep their own private bitbake layers that they add locally to bblayers.conf. In these layers they add .bbappends that override the SRC_URI for recipes they are interested in to point at local repositories.
