Cheers, Richard Here is an interesting twist on the same issue. It looks like if you have two recipes pointing to the same repository but with different git:// vs. gitsm://, that if the git:// runs first the one with gitsm:// will fail. I'm using multiple recipes against the same repository to build some internal code where several programs are in the same repository. I suppose the work around is to make them all gitsm:// but still... Chris -- ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
