Hi Denys, There does seem to be a branch confusingly named 'HEAD' in the official repo on git.yoctoproject.org. It is not like this in other repos hosted on git.yoctoproject.org, as far as I can tell, or in the arago-project repo on git.ti.com. Could it be from some sort of CI/CD that has added it? Or is meta-ti actually using it for something?
A branch named HEAD is listed here: https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-ti/refs/ Which does not exist here: https://git.ti.com/cgit/arago-project/meta-ti/refs/ Thanks, Kevin On Wed, Oct 4, 2023 at 6:31 AM Boettger, Heiko <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't get what you want to say about the repository being old, we are > cloning > from git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-ti. > > > > ------------------------------ > *Von:* [email protected] <[email protected]> im > Auftrag von Denys Dmytriyenko <[email protected]> > *Gesendet:* Dienstag, 3.
