tyn could begin the process using a different email address that they can send email from. We can work around the Apple proxy issues once we have a reliable way to communicate. Thanks Michael. I've been checking for tyn on IRC this week but haven't see them on libera at all: /whois tyn [13:45] [Error] tyn: No such nick/channel. I'll continue looking for a week or so. If there are other folks who would like to use an Apple email address for YP bugzilla, please speak up. Thanks for checking. Apple's setup is unusual but we can work with it as long as users are able to reach out to me with some email address. Since the issue is with Apple not Yocto Project I'm going to mark this resolved. Accounts really should be registered with email addresses that can send and receive email. If someone really wants to use a reply only email address we can work with that but they must start the process using an email address that they can send email from. |
From IRC, user tyn says that they can't create an account using an Apple email address: [21:04] <tyn> I'm afraid I can't initaite bugzilla registration because I use Apple's email proxy and it only lets me reply, so I will raise the problem here. I hope it doesn't complicate managing it. The real bug that tyn wants to report is: [21:04] <tyn> I encounter an error when I get to step 4 of the Customizing You Build for Specific Hardware section of the Quick Build part of the Yocto Documentation. The "bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-altera" command fails with a notification "ERROR: Layer meta-altera is not compatible with the core layer which only supports these series: styhead (layer is compatible with mickledore honister kirkstone)". [21:05] <tyn> I am unsure if this is a real fault or if I completed the prior step incorrectly. To complete the prior step I simply added MACHINE ?= "cyclone5" on its own line in the local.conf file. I completed all the prior steps without successfully. I am running on a clean install of the latest Debian Xfce. --- This is likely just meta-alterna not keeping things up to date. tyn, can you try adding styhead to the list of supported branches and send meta-altera a patch if that works for you. meta-altera isn't a project on git.yoctoproject.org so we usually don't track that sort of bug here.
