Re: [meta-ti] Unable to clone or fetch from git.ti.com

[Denys Dmytriyenko <denis@denix.org>]

Yes, git.ti.com is periodically under heavy AI bot crawlers attack and 
sometimes goes down.

But meta-ti-bsp already sets up MIRRORS to point to github, where TI core 
repos, like kernel and u-boot, are mirrored. This works for most users 
automatically and doesn't break.

The error you are seeing is because you heve your own PREMIRRORS (e.g. using 
own-mirrors.bbclass), which contains an older clones of those repos and hence 
bitbake tries to use those, instead of falling back to MIRRORS, and can't find 
the required SRCREV:

| Error: UnpackError('No up to date source found: clone directory not available or not up to date:
| /home/troth/Yocto/Downloads/git2/git.ti.com.git.ti-linux-kernel.ti-linux-kernel.git


You can disable your PREMIRRORS temporarily and re-fetch affected components, 
then you can re-enable it back.

Please note that there are a few other TI repos, mostly used in meta-ti-extras 
and meta-ti-tests, which are not mirrored on github, but they haven't been 
updated in a while, so your existing copies from your PREMIRRORS should be 
fine.
