Hi.

I've been trying to build the kernel for my Palm Zire 72 using Open Embedded, but it wouldn't work.

It couldn't clone the git tree. So I found out that linux-hackndev-2.6_git.bb needed a simple modification:

Replacing
SRC_URI = "git://git.hackndev.com/git/linux-hnd;protocol=git \
with
SRC_URI = "git://git.hackndev.com/git/linux-hnd;protocol=http \

But then I found another problem.

Bitbake tries to compile the kernel from the directory trunk, in which the files were when the repository was SVN.

After I moved the files to the trunk directory it all started to work.

On the other hand, I noticed that bitbake tried to download the tar.gz'ed copy of the git tree from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/sources/ before using the git clone method.

Does anyone have access to that repository? I could send the tar.gz'ed archives created by bitbake (it creates one archive for the .git directory and another one for the actual data).

And how about sending the ipk files generated through bitbake/OpenEmbedded to the angstrom-distribution.org repositories? It would make life a lot easier for us who like to use ipkg install for just about anything.

Thanks in advance.
