Broken only for some OE use cases. Not broken for others. The wrong solution to the problem is to replace a recipe that works for the people who use it with a recipe that creates untested output. U-boot is a fiddly piece of software, updates should be tested on hardware before they are pushed. Let's keep the focus on the real issue here, disappearing sources versus recipes that produce untested output. Disappearing sources are an issue beyond just rebased git repos. Distros that provide binaries to end users must provide for this event to provide GPL compliance. So it really is not a big deal. Philip
