312 Yocto Project maintains an Index of Releases area that contains
313 related files that contribute to the Yocto Project.
314 Rather than Git repositories, these files represent snapshot
315 tarballs.
316 <note><title>Tip</title>
317 The recommended method for accessing Yocto Project
318 components is to use Git to clone a repository and work from
319 within that local repository.
320 The procedure in this section exists should you desire a
321 tarball snapshot of any given component.

325 Open a browser and go to

328 The list represents released components (e.g.
329 <filename>eclipse-plugin</filename>,
330 <filename>sato</filename>, and so on).
331 <note>
332 The <filename>yocto</filename> directory contains the
333 full array of released Poky tarballs.
334 The <filename>poky</filename> directory in the
335 Index of Releases was historically used for very
336 early releases and exists for retroactive
337 completeness only.
