[yocto] Proxy server related package fetching issues

[Chris Morgan]

Hi Michael.

You do that  because of the same issue where something on the network is blocking the package fetching? When you say you update the sources offline do you mean from a home network or something?

For my group, I keep a separate git repository updated with all the required sources. I update the sources offline and set bitbake to not use the network. You can usually download the required sources from the yocto project mirror.

Hello.

I’ve been working to build an angstrom build and have had some issues with our corporate proxy server blocking the fetching of some packages, either because of the protocol/port or because the site was for some reason flagged. In my case it took several hours to determine that the failure wasn’t due to a missing file, I tried on another network connection and everything worked.

I’m posting here to see if anyone has had similar experience and if so, any details you’d be willing to provide, how you detected/debugged the issue and how long it took, and how you resolved the issue.

Thanks,
Chris
