while the bitbake fetcher code supports a number of protocols, which
ones are *actually* in serious use these days? while the fetcher code
handles protocols like osc:// and p4://, is anyone actually using
those?
i'm writing a tutorial on fetching and i just don't want to spend any
time on protocols no one's going to care about. thanks.

Few care about those two, at least looking for the patches we receive to
those fetchers. p4 may have some users, I suspect osc has none since I
know why it was added and that it isn't used by that user group.
Having said that I don't see a pressing need to remove them either as
they still work, at least in theory.
Cheers,
Richard

oh, i wasn't proposing removing them, i just wanted to know which
protocols i could safely ignore during class. :-)
