[OE-core] OE core behind a company firewall

[Rainer Koenig]

Hi,

I just tried out OE core according to the instructions at

http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom and

http://git.angstrom-distribution.org/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/meta-texasinstruments/tree/README

At home this works fine, but being inside my company's firewall during
the day I have some comments on the oebb.sh script.

First I didn't get that corkscrew stuff for git working. Don't know
whats wrong but since I had a working git-proxy setting for my SOCKS
server I modified the script so that it works for me.

###############################################################################
# CONFIG_GIT_PROXY() - Configure GIT proxy information
###############################################################################
function config_git_proxy()
{
    if [ ! -f ${GIT_CONFIG_DIR}/git-proxy.sh ]
    then
        mkdir -p ${GIT_CONFIG_DIR}
       cat > ${GIT_CONFIG_DIR}/git-proxy.sh <<_EOF
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/env /usr/bin/connect -S ${PROXYHOST}:1080 \$*
_EOF
        chmod +x ${GIT_CONFIG_DIR}/git-proxy.sh
        export GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=${GIT_CONFIG_DIR}/git-proxy.sh
    fi
}

Luckily http_proxy and SOCKS share the same server, so I could use
${PROXYHOST} here. :-)

With this setup I got oebb.sh working for me. But then I ran into
problems with building gcc-core-initial and I first thought its because
the SRC_URI is "svn://" but that was a wrong guess. Problem was that the
download was interrupted somehow and so unpacking the tgz failed.

Anyway, thinking of svn:-URIs I wonder about what will happen when
I need to access a SVN repo with the svn protocol. SVN seems to be a
pain in the ass when trying to use a SOCKS server. Well, actually there
is no need, because its just 3 recipes that I found which will use the
svn-protocol and its not likely that I need them for my project.

$ find -name "*.bb" | xargs grep "svn://" | grep -v proto
./sources/openembedded-core/meta/recipes-sato/puzzles/puzzles_r9306.bb:#SRC_URI
= "svn://ixion.tartarus.org/main;module=puzzles;rev=${MOD_PV}"
./sources/meta-smartphone/meta-shr/recipes-shr/3rdparty/openmoko-gps_svn.bb:SRC_URI
= "svn://forge.bearstech.com/forge/openmoko;module=gps"
./sources/meta-smartphone/meta-shr/recipes-shr/3rdparty/om-neon_svn.bb:SRC_URI
= "svn://svn.projects.openmoko.org/svnroot/neon;module=trunk"
./sources/meta-smartphone/meta-shr/recipes-shr/3rdparty/spojegui_svn.bb:SRC_URI
= "svn://xeres.cz/spoje/trunk;module=build"
