This broke the recipe and a warning was printed saying that the file could not be fetched. I ignored the warning at first. During the first build everything seems to be fine, but on the second build a cache error occurs, which can only be fixed by deleting the tmp directory. Here is the recipes that broke using the script: https://pastebin.com/dwdig7wn 92412 1 randy.macleod 2022-01-27 15:35:14 +0000 Could you send a patch to the list? This is meant as an aid to the transition so it's not expected to be perfect. 92422 2 Claussen.J 2022-01-28 10:08:11 +0000 I don't think that I will find the time any time soon. It would probably be better that the author of the script makes some changes. By looking at the script, I can see that the error occurred because there is an 'aarch64' sub-string included in the SRC_URI of this package. I think it would be best to somehow exclude strings in quotes from the conversion, so that only variable names, but not the values themselves are converted. 92424 3 randy.macleod 2022-01-28 17:15:44 +0000 Thanks for the explanation. For now this is in the backlog since the dev team is stretched very thin. 97099 4 randy.macleod 2023-10-30 15:37:24 +0000 Build move to 5.0 -- ../Randy 98835 5 randy.macleod 2024-04-25 01:13:55 +0000 Bulk move of 5.0 medium importance issues to 5.99. Move to 5.1 if you want to actively work on an issue. 98867 6 randy.macleod 2024-04-25 01:23:12 +0000 Move to 5.99 since no one is actively working on this issue. Move to 5.x if you start on a task, please. 105331 7 richard.purdie 2026-04-30 15:38:43 +0000 At this point most conversions have been done and we're unlikely to make further changes to the script.
