Local projects are custom bits of software the user provides. These bits reside somewhere local to a project - perhaps a directory into which the user checks in items (e.g. a local directory containing a development source tree used by the group).
The canonical method through which to include a local
project is to use the
externalsrc
class to include that local project.
You use either the local.conf
or a
recipe's append file to override or set the
recipe to point to the local directory on your disk to pull
in the whole source tree.
