Linux-imx Git Issues

Linux-imx Git Issues

[Nick Gordon]

I'm curious about the current state of the servers for the linux-2.6-imx 
repository. I'm trying to rebuild my kernel for linux-imx as opposed to 
linux-boundary now, and it seems that during the bitbake it always fails 
the git operations for the URL 
git://git.freescale.com/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git. I've tried going through 
the mirrors, but that doesn't seem to work (though I may not be 
accessing the mirrors correctly) and I've tried manually running the git 
commands, but also to no avail. Anyone have any knowledge on this issue?

Thanks

Nick Gordon

Adding Lauren so she can check internally.

[Lauren Post] No I have not heard of this issue that our git.freescale.com repositories were having failures to access.  I have one team that uses only the external gits for linux and uboot for building since their work is based off of daisy 3.10.17 GA.  I just did a build yesterday for them with external gits with no problems.

Are you using the right branch?

The only way we can be sure it is right is using:

bitbake linux-imx -c cleanall

and than building it again. Otherwise it reuses the downloaded cache
of the GIT repository so just checking if the revision is available
there and not redownloading it.

Please perform this test so we are sure it is working as fetching
errors is a critical issue especially for new users.
