The

tarballs of any Yocto Project release.
Rather than Git repositories, these files represent snapshot
tarballs.
<note><title>Tip</title>
The recommended method for accessing Yocto Project
components is to use Git to clone a repository and work from
within that local repository.
The procedure in this section exists should you desire a
tarball snapshot of any given component.
