<p class="MsoNormal">Hey everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I ran into an interesting problem today that I need some help with. I’m not sure if this is a bitbake issue or an oe-core one so I thought I’d try here first. We have our own layer that overlays on top of oe-core, meta-oe, and meta-angstrom.
Our layer has a bunch of recipes that pull projects from our local SVN, including a recipe for u-boot. We have a build configuration file that has lines like the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SRCREV_pn-u-boot = “563”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We pull in this conf at build time using bitbake’s –R argument. Just recently we switched u-boot’s SRCREV from ${AUTOREV} to an actual revision number and bitbake started choking trying to parse recipes. It looks like it chokes while trying
to parse oe-core’s u-boot git recipe because the SRCREV is meant for SVN, not GIT (even though our PREFERRED_VERSION is set up only to build our u-boot). Is there a way to override this SRCREV variable only when parsing recipes in our layer? I know I can do
it directly in the recipe, but that loses us the advantages of having all of the SRCREVs in one file (which makes specific full rebuilds very easy).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
