Description Nitin Kamble 2011-09-28 09:19:25 UTC 
The linux-korg.bb recipe is located here:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/experimental/meta-x32/

When building it is giving this error:

| ERROR. meta data not found, check upstream repo for tags and branches

Looks like the kernel repo needs to have tag/commits for it to work well.

THanks,
Nitin

Bruce, this recipe looks just like the one in meta-kernel-dev with the exception of the SRCURI. This is supposed to work without all the branching in the regular korg trees right?
Comment 2 Bruce Ashfield 2011-09-28 10:05:20 UTC 
It is. It looks like the fact that meta isn't there (and it ok), isn't being detected.
I had this recipe on my 'to check' list for the 1.1 release. I'll use this defect to
track that time.
Comment 3 Bruce Ashfield 2011-09-29 11:49:48 UTC 
I've reproduced this now. Fix is pending.
Comment 4 Bruce Ashfield 2011-09-29 21:30:10 UTC 
The fix for this is simple, and I'll update the meta-kernel-dev with this shortly. With the
re-factored variables, a korg based recipe must set:

YOCTO_KERNEL_META_DATA=                                                                                                                                                                                                

To clear the requirement that the fetched repo contain meta-data. Then things will build.
So there's nothing to fix for this one.

Bruce,
  Thanks for the update. Now I am testing it with the empty var.

Comment 6 Nitin Kamble 2011-09-30 11:08:15 UTC 
Now the kernel recipe is building without any failure.

Thanks,
Nitin
