Just to report back, I successfully used this and the instructions Michael Halstead provided, from https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2012-May/008966.html to work around my non-working Sony proxy issue. So thank you both very much! I completed several builds in the past week, and am looking forward to doing some experimentation with my own custom distribution, for some research I'm doing. I should note that this is independent of the work being done by Sony's internal distribution team, who have been working to migrate Sony's internal Linux distribution to the Yocto Project for a few months now. ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Workgroup of the Linux Foundation Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Network Entertainment ============================= _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
