That's already supported using external_recipes and external_packages in you .cbc file: external_recipes = { 'fluendo-recipes': ("/path/to/recipes/dir", 1), 'collabora-recipes': ("/path/to/recipes/dir", 2), } The dictionary key is the name of the repository and the tuple value is the path to the directory with the recipes and the priority for the repository.</blockquote><div> </div><div>Nice!
