Hi Richard,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is a bit of an issue with meta-aws
and it may be more serious then we originally thought.

I've been trying to fix some fetcher issues and came up with a fix:

https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?h=master-next&id=222dd76493ea18c4fde5d3d34eeda9257adf34a2

and some tests:

https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?h=master-next&id=66ee0b94a88c6aaaddb3580f044a5cc5d35b7cc4

however the newly added error shows issues in meta-aws:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/122/builds/769/steps/12/logs/stdio

In the first commit linked above I explain why the lack of use of get_srcrev()
is a problem:

"""
Where a git url uses a tag instead of a full source revision, breakage
can currently occur in builds. Issues include:

* the revision being looked up in multiple tasks (fetch and unpack)
* the risk a different revision may be obtained in those tasks
* that some tasks may not be allowed to access the network
* that a revision may not be consistent throughout a given build
* rerunning a specific task may given inconsistent results
"""

and I suspect these are things you care about.

You don't have to set PV to include SRCPV, you could just call
bb.fetch2.get_srcrev(d) manually in those recipes instead.

This probably explains some of the previous strange behaviour for some of the
recipes.

Cheers,

Richard
