fetch problem during build

Hi all,
I am trying out yocto, and I get the following error during an initial build: ERROR: Task failed: Fetch failed: Unable to fetch URL git://git.pokylinux.org/linux-2.6-windriver.git;protocol=git;fullclone=1;branch=common_pc-standard;name=machine from any source. NOTE: package linux-wrs-2.6.34+git0+b67e060194a38c6331da1532bd06446087a42b3b_0+0431115c9d720fee5bb105f6a7411efb4f851d26-r12: task do_fetch: Failed ERROR: Task 476 (/a/home/tbird/work/yocto/poky-laverne-4.0/meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-wrs_git.bb, do_fetch) failed with 1 I don't have git access through my corporate firewall, except to kernel.org. I presume this is the source of the problem. I read that someone else had problems with fetching source in CVS. I suspect that will be a problem as well, since I don't have CVS access through my corporate firewall either. I tried the instructions at: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Working_Behind_a_Network_Proxy (for the git-proxy), but this didn't work. I suspect I don't have a SOCKS proxy. In the CVS case above, there appeared to be a workaround to directly download some files. Is this possible with the kernel source as well? Also, I presume I could substitute my own kernel source, if I wanted to? Maybe some pointers about how to do what would be good as well. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi all,It does sound like that, and you can typically download and place things in the downloads directory manually and they'll be picked up and used. The kernel is no different from other packages in this sense. I often point the SRC_URI at a local clone on disk to to save time as well. I don't have the instructions handy for what exactly to do to clone via a proxy (others do though, so hopefully they'll follow up) or download manually. For the 0.9 kernel, there is a specific structure expected for the kernel source tree if you use the default linux-wrs recipe. You can add to that structure with your own BSP branches and kernel configuration without changing the actual source repo. For a completely different src tree, you can use some of the other recipes for various other kernels that use defconfigs and other mechanisms for board support. That being said, for 1.0, it will be easier/possible to point the linux-yocto recipe at another src tree and have the BSP branching structure automatically created and bootstrapped for a board, based on any number of trees. So depending on what you want to try, there's definitely something we can do to get you started. Hope that helps, Bruce
