Description Rebecca Chang 2017-11-16 00:35:40 UTC 
Using the eSDK installer from 2.4 release and following the guide on SDK manual, I have tried to use sdk-install subcommand but the operation failed unexpectedly.

eSDK installer used in this example: http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-2.4/toolchain/x86_64/poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-core2-64-toolchain-ext-2.4.sh

When running ‘devtool sdk-install’

I downloaded the 2.4.1 eSDK[1] from the Autobuilder and confirmed this bug.

I then took a look at and realised that the SSTATE_MIRRORS isn't pointing to the per-release sstate mirror, i.e.: 
http://sstate.yoctoproject.org/2.4.1

but instead is pointing to the top-level sstate mirror folder:
http://sstate.yoctoproject.org/

I believe the value of SSTATE_MIRRORS is inherited from the setting in auto.conf at the time of building, therefore the bug is in the autobuilder code that sets that value.

I've implemented a fix for this in CreateAutoConf and tested it on the yocto.io cluster with a synthetic 2.4.2 release.

Having downloaded the generated eSDK I can confirm that I'm no longer able to reproduce the issue.
