[OE-core] [bitbake] How to fetch private github release

[Måns Zigher]

Hi again,

I have a workaround that I think is good enough but I would still like to
get any pointers regarding it and if it would be possible for fetch to
actually support downloading from private repo.

do_my_fetch() {
    fetch --repo=${MY_REPO} \
        --github-oauth-token=${GITHUB_TOKEN} \
        --tag=${VERSION} \
        --release-asset=asset.tar.gz ${WORKDIR} || {
        bbfatal "Failed to download asset"
    }
}
addtask my_fetch after do_fetch before do_unpack
do_my_fetch[depends] += "${PN}:do_prepare_recipe_sysroot"

In the recipe I have made sure to add fetch to DEPENDS so that the fetch
will be part of the sysroot. So the reason for do_fetch not working was
that it was not depending on do_prepare_recipe_sysroot and do_install was.
