[bitbake-devel] exception in checksum.py

[Dr. Arno Baumfalk]

Hi,

just for reference: I have split my migration problem into smaller steps 
and solved the reported error, which occured during migration from 
jethro to krogoth.

The point was, that I had to add my custom gitsmlocal fetcher to a list 
of git fetchers (git and gitsm) in base.bbclass, where "needsrcrev" is 
set. This was a bit surprising for me, for I thought that returning 
"True" on supports_srcrev in the fetcher code should suffice, but maybe 
I missed something here.

Anyhow, I successfully migrated to morty and now I am working on pyro, 
where I found a problem with a crashing Cooker, which seems to run int 
an endless recursion - I might come back to this in another thread.

One final question: I was looking for some description of the fetcher 
interface, but could not find anything. This would help a lot, as for 
now I can only do try-and-error and analyse the other fetchers; could 
someone provide my with some hints here (anything appreciated, no matter 
if incomplete or outdated)?
