Our setup seems to have been working fine with dylan, but once we try to migrate to daisy, it seems that we face this issue; bitbake foo-core-image Pseudo is not present but is required, building this first before the main build WARNING: Host distribution "Debian-7.7" has not been validated with this version of the build system; you may possibly experience unexpected failures. It is recommended that you use a tested distribution. ERROR: OE-core's config sanity checker detected a potential misconfiguration. Either fix the cause of this error or at your own risk disable the checker (see sanity.conf). Following is the list of potential problems / advisories: Failed to fetch test data from the network. Please ensure your network is configured correctly. ERROR: Execution of event handler 'check_sanity_eventhandler' failed ERROR: Command execution failed: Exited with 1 Summary: There was 1 WARNING message shown. Summary: There were 3 ERROR messages shown, returning a non-zero exit code. I do not know why this is appearing as the setup used to work with dylan and that has not changed. Either way, some more explanation about the exact issue would be nice!
To clarify, there are two problems here based on IRC discussion with Laszlo and some investigation: 1) The sanity error doesn't tell you which URL failed to fetch nor how it failed, so we should change it so it does show that information. 2) The trigger for this was Laszlo was using a copied and modified poky.conf from an older release with a previous value of CONNECTIVITY_CHECK_URIS that still included a git:// URI (we removed it some time ago in http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=029a74407836390acc29201309130e3860caf072 ). This shouldn't have been an issue, except it appears that the old git URI ("git://git.yoctoproject.org/yocto-firewall-test;protocol=git;rev=HEAD", which we still show as an example within poky.conf) no longer works - our call to 'git ls-remote' when rev=HEAD doesn't return anything. That seems like it might be a bug; if it's not then at the very least we need to update the example in poky.conf.
This bug is solved by the following commits: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=c41b5b6fc3462cd3b1d8946ec1852b5dac7438e9 http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=fab7da4f8030a4067db0522f77eaa6d3b501c68f http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/meta-yocto/conf/distro/poky.conf?id=fab7da4f8030a4067db0522f77eaa6d3b501c68f
The poky.conf file looks fine. Verified on master: a9053ac0829eb01f6f002587854d01e47a78e6f0
