So the problem why this prefix dir was added - number of entries in sstate-cache dir, get actually worse for people with SSTATE_MIRRORS (64^2 new directories - if all used). And they already had two times more entries, because fetcher stores .done file too. 29842 1 richard.purdie 2013-02-14 21:39:59 +0000 Patches on the bitbake list to address these issues. file:// urls should just work. http mirrors need to be specified as: SSTATE_MIRRORS = "file://.* http://192.168.1.69/PATH;downloadfilename=PATH" Once the bitbake patches merge, we need to update local.conf.sample files and docs. 29852 2 richard.purdie 2013-02-15 12:32:32 +0000 Fixed with http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=21efb536089b1fd6f00c1174bb3fcdbc5dfd8870 and preceeding bitbake patches.
