[oe] [meta-networking] crda-1.1.3 broken in dylan, dora, daisy and dizzy

[Viguera, Javier]

Hi all,

Seems that CRDA maintainers did some changes that broke the fetch of the package for all those releases.

These are the URIs in the package recipe:

http://wireless.kernel.org/download/crda/crda-1.1.3.tar.bz2
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/wireless-regdb/regulatory.bins/2013.01.11-regulatory.bin

The correct ones are:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/crda/crda-1.1.3.tar.bz2
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/wireless-regdb/wireless-regdb-2013.01.11.tar.bz2

Notice that they not only changed the address but also now the regulatory binary is packed in a tarball.

So at this point there are two options here:

1. Rework the recipe with the new locations, checksums and adapting the 'do_install' to copy the regulatory binary from a different directory. This has to be done for all the releases in the subject.

2. Just put the 'crda-1.1.3.tar.bz2' and '2013.01.11-regulatory.bin' in the openembedded mirror and let all the old releases work without changes in the recipes.

My preference is number 2, along with an upgrade of the package to the new version 3.13 for the not-yet-released 'master' branch (there is currently a patch for that in the mailing list).

Comments?
