I fixed it like this: diff --git a/meta/recipes-extended/psmisc/psmisc.inc b/meta/recipes-extended/psmisc/psmisc.inc index 8b391f4..460affc 100644 --- a/meta/recipes-extended/psmisc/psmisc.inc +++ b/meta/recipes-extended/psmisc/psmisc.inc @@ -10,8 +10,9 @@ SECTION = "base" PRIORITY = "required" DEPENDS = "ncurses virtual/libintl" -SRC_URI = "${SOURCEFORGE_MIRROR}/psmisc/psmisc-${PV}.tar.gz \ +SRC_URI = "${SOURCEFORGE_MIRROR}/project/psmisc/psmisc/${PV}/psmisc-${PV}.tar.gz \ file://libintl-link.patch;patch=1" + S = "${WORKDIR}/psmisc-${PV}" This means that the tag bernard-5.0.1 does not build anymore for the beagle and most likely other platforms won't build as well out of the box. That's just a small issue, but my problem is more generic. Assuming someone makes a distro based on a tag e.g. bernard-5.0.1 and wants to rebuild this distro in a year from now. Packages might have disappeared, or in best case just the URLs changed. In any case the distro will not build anymore out of the box. I would ideally like to be able to reproduce exactly what I have in a couple of years from now, which seems impossible due to dependencies external to poky which are not controlled by this community. I could come up with a solution, where local copies of packages are kept e.g. in a local download directory, but this would mean, that I'll need to build and test all possible platforms just after the releases (where everything still works) and not when I'll actually need them. What's the best way to deal with this? Regards, Robert ..."C++ has its place in the history of programming languages.
