Bitbake 1.20 (dora) handled lightweight tags just fine, so this seems to be a regression. Example below writing a recipe for a ruby-serialport repo on github.com. Specifying the tag in the SRC_URI used to work, but no longer does: SRC_URI = "git://github.com/hparra/ruby-serialport.git;protocol=git;tag=v1.1.0" (SRCREV unset) Setting it in SRCREV instead also fails: SRCREV = "v1.1.0" SRC_URI = "git://github.com/hparra/ruby-serialport.git;protocol=git" The workaround is to get the SHA hash for the commit the tag references and use that, but it would be nice if this worked again. # tag v1.1.0 SRCREV = "709e385f6d20aaadc7f3252af59250336d27e607" Error when using tag name in SRCREV or SRC_URI ---------------------------------------------- ERROR: Function failed: Fetcher failure for URL: 'git://github.com/hparra/ruby-serialport.git;protocol=git;tag=v1.1.0'.
