Description Frans Meulenbroeks 2011-12-25 12:06:32 UTC
recipe http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/recipes-devtools/opkg-utils/opkg-utils_svn.bb does not fetch any more. Apparently the openmoko svn ceased to exist.
Comment 1 Saul Wold 2012-01-05 11:38:12 UTC
Currently I am working on trying to find the upstream maintainer or someone that could provide us with the repo to work with.
Comment 2 Saul Wold 2012-01-09 14:57:36 UTC
This is resolved for now, opkg-utils at svn.openmoko.org is back on line, we will likely create a git repo as a backup in case this goes down again.
Comment 3 Frans Meulenbroeks 2012-01-22 04:21:00 UTC
reopening this one as svn checkout http://svn.openmoko.org/
 does again not work, so the svn is down again.
This seems to need a more permanent solution.

One of the solutions could be to try to avoid the need for this. If I recall correctly this package was only needed for the opkg-make-index script.
(maybe it can be lifted and/or similar functionality added to the classes)
Comment 4 Saul Wold 2012-01-26 13:52:58 UTC
Seems to be back up, we also use more that opkg-make-index, we also use opkg-build, another option is to move this to git under git.yoctoproject.org, we would need to talk with the original author in either case.
Comment 5 Saul Wold 2012-02-09 20:00:25 UTC
Created local git.yoctoproject.org repo to host opkg-utils and pointed recipe there.
