Hello

I have 2 questions

I have finally managed to build an image like I want it.

I consists of a kernel.

The ROS framework.

And our proprietary software under git control

What I want to achieve is the following:

When online it should fetch the latest commit (or what ever branch/tag) from our git repo.

It should be possible to take a laptop with a fresh checkout of all the software, go to the field where the is NO
INTERNET access, and be able to patch our code on the spot ,and build fresh images, for the target.

When online in our office environment all our own software is correctly checked out from our git repo. and build.
Beautifully.....

But when offline ( I disconnect the LAN ) I continually gets errors like “Failure expanding variable SRCPV” on our
software modules.

I have following in build/conf/local.conf

BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS = "1"

INHERIT += "own-mirrors"

SOURCE_MIRROR_URL = "file://${DL_DIR}"

and I experimented with BB_FETCH_PREMIRRORONLY = "1"

with no appearent effect

So question 1:

How do I achieve the offline building. ?

Is should be possible - right ?

Question 2:

Where in the tree is the checked out source code located, that bitbake compiles from.

I do this all the time successfully.

What is your target and what recipe(s) are having issues?

Note setting BB_NO_NETWORK = "1" in local.conf can help diagnose these issues

Thanks for the quick response, I will be happy if you can help me solve this, since it's the last stone in our shoes before we go all in on yocto.

My target (at this time) is just a plain vanilla X86 platform - i might change in the furture.
The recipes that cause troubles, are those who examine my git repos
one example, I have several made from this template ($BRANCH is set by envoking scripts):
