Local repo no network help request

Local repo no network help request

[Matthew Phillips]

Hi all,

I am trying to do the following:

I have a local git repo, pulled manually from a remote repo (via a script).
I have a .bb file set up referencing this repo. This .bb file includes
(among other things):

>> SRC_URI = "git://${TOPDIR}/../sources/my-repo;protocol=file;branch=master"
>> SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"

I do not want to use the network (so BB_NO_NETWORK is 1).

Although the SRC_URI is pointing to the correct path, the yocto build
fails because it tries to access the network.

How should I be doing this instead?

I can run a script (preferably bash atm) before the build if doing
something pre-build will help simplify anything.

Thank you,
M

did you get the same result if you hard-coded the pathname?

Can you use network features with ssh on localhost ?
Why don't you create tarball for delivery and cross compile for development?

I used an alternative pathname that eliminated the "/../", however it
still failed. The debug messages show that it is able to find the
local repo, but it seems to be trying to access HEAD regardless.

I have also tried a couple of the additional flags that I can set for
SRC_URI (ex. nobranch, usehead, etc.). Sadly, no option is available
to limite remote fetch operations.

1) Should I locally (in the .bb file) override do_fetch?

2) I also tried running git archive [...] on the local repo, and
pointing to the tgz file as such:

SRC_URI = "file://${TOPDIR}/my-repo.tgz

However this too failed. Or, I don't think it failed in the do_fetch
step, but it later failed during the build. (I saved the error
messages, but I don't have them atm). Please advise...what am I doing
incorrectly?

Thank you,
M

can you bitbake -e your_recipe and paste SRC_URI contents ?

Please paste error message.

Check what the value of TOPDIR is in this case.  We've got layers that are doing
this exact behavior and they work properly -- but we're not using TOPDIR, we're
using ${THISDIR}, or other hard coded values that are full system paths.

A simple 'bitbake -e <recipe>' looking at SRC_URI should be able to show if you
have a full path or not.

The following is working for us:

KSRC_linux_windriver_4_8 ?= "${THISDIR}/../../git/kernel-4.8.x.git"
SRC_URI =
"git://${KSRC_linux_windriver_4_8};protocol=file;branch=${KBRANCH};name=machine"

(note this is with Morty, not master.)
