tree/branch: poky/1.2_M1
commit: b806f726b1db2cb605869c1022ef727c1110255b

If I run bitbake-layers(show_appends, show_layers, show_overlayed) in a new workding dir, it will report "'module' object has no attribute 'fetch2'". If I run some other bitbake command like "bitbake -s" under the folder, the issue won't happen again with bitbake-layers.

Comment 1 Paul Eggleton 2011-12-29 05:59:18 UTC

A simple "import bb.fetch2" at the beginning of bitbake-layers corrects this; however I'm not sure if this is an acceptable fix. Another alternative would be to have a wrapper script that simply sets BBFETCH2=True, but I'm not sure I particularly like that idea either.

Comment 2 Paul Eggleton 2011-12-29 06:37:09 UTC

Chris Larson seems to think the former import approach is OK, have sent a patch to the bitbake-devel list.

Comment 3 Paul Eggleton 2012-01-04 06:17:39 UTC

Fix merged to master in revision f540034864cb2afdd47486b271900e1021ae0b27.
