Description Andrei Dinu 2012-09-26 12:53:48 UTC

after installing vmware and loading a build-appliance image, and picking qemux86 image (for example) the progress bar stalls at 99% and remains there with no error message or promt for the user. 

after setting proxy servers, hob doesn't seem to have connectivity in the internet through the proxies i've set in order to fetch the packages needed to compile the targeted image.

the problem lies not in the hob interface but in the environment that hob is running on. 

there is no mechanism implemented for git to access the repositories over the internet.

Comment 1 Andrei Dinu 2012-09-27 14:43:35 UTC

- depends on Bug 3026 

- connection solution for git with proxy in build-appliance, similar to that one used in poky when running a build.

Comment 2 Cristian Iorga 2012-10-01 08:37:47 UTC

Investigation started.

Comment 3 Cristian Iorga 2012-10-02 15:43:39 UTC

Similar with bug 3119.

Comment 4 Cristian Iorga 2012-10-04 14:34:14 UTC

GIT_PROXY_COMMAND solution will be used.

Comment 5 Cristian Iorga 2012-10-15 07:51:51 UTC

Placed on hold due to re-prioritization.

Current status:
GIT_PROXY_COMMAND mechanism is implemented.
Need to find out how to make Hob/bitbake add GIT_PROXY_HOST and GIT_PROXY_PORT as properly set environment variables after the proxies are set.

Comment 6 Cristian Iorga 2012-11-28 10:13:12 UTC

GIT_PROXY_HOST and GIT_PROXY_PORT variables are exported by Hob in the environment and should be used by git proxying mechanism, if the proxies are set correctly.

The implementation needs to be tested.

I will get back with testing results.

Regards,
Cristian
