Hi Richard,
Are there any plans to backport this fix to older versions of bitbake/poky? My company has a line of legacy embedded products that are only supported in older versions of our Yocto distribution (1.3 in the most extreme case), and although we can manually change the protocol from git to https in the recipes in our layer, we can't do the same for other third party layers our distribution depends on (meta-qt5, meta-freescale, poky...). Since backporting the fix to older bitbake versions is trivial, do you intend to incorporate it in older bibake/poky versions in the near future?
Otherwise, are there any alternative approaches we can take to ensure that users that depend on our legacy products can continue to build our Yocto distribution? Upgrading our entire legacy line to newer Yocto versions is not a viable solution for us.
Thanks and best regards,
Gabriel
