[oe] SRC_URI = "svn://svn.o-hand.com/repos/matchbox/trunk

[David Thomas]

I have tried every possible way, 8 hours so far, to get this file to
process these patches. I got the patches, I have set up local
repositories, ad nasium and same response, unable to fetch from any
source.

I have tired every combination, I have tried every possible link, url,

SRC_URI = "git:///home/twoods/local;protocol=file;branch=master"

git://git.yoctoproject.org/matchbox-keyboard;protocol=git;file://smallscreen-fontsize.patch;patch=1

and on and on. Every single project I have seen references the same


SRC_URI = "svn://svn.o-hand.com/repos/matchbox/trunk;module=${PN};proto=http \

I am at the point of hurling this machine out a window. How could this
be so cryptic and difficult?

Does anyone have a idea?
