I ran: bitbake -c clean mybitbucketrecipe and then bitbake mybitbucketrecipe and it works. I suspect the issue is that I had originally used a git:// path and then switched to a gitsm:// path without cleaning in between. Does this make sense? I ran a few times cleaning and rebuilding and it looks like everything is good now so I'm inclined to say so... 43404 2 chmorgan 2014-05-19 12:56:29 +0000 Marking as resolved. I was able to get patches in to improve the gitsm:// fetcher documentation and testing here indicates that everything is working as expected with gitsm://.
