Dell - Internal Use - Confidential
We have a Microsoft proxy server which requires NTLM authentication, and it is
cumbersome in most cases to retrieve sources from the cli tools. Downloading in
a browser helps here, then transferring the files to the git repo. (The 'cntlm'
package can help here). For git repositories using the 'git' protocol, there is
no way to access the files with the proxy, so I normally just download the
tarball from the yocto mirror. For extreme cases, I sometimes download at home
and bring in on a USB stick.
The main point being that the build process has no network access and I
populate everything manually:
#don't really disable all network, as we need network to do sstate
BB_NO_NETWORK = "0"
INHERIT += "own-mirrors"
SOURCE_MIRROR_URL =
file://${TOPDIR}/../sources/<file:///\\$%7bTOPDIR%7d\..\sources\>
BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS = "1"
# this disables everything except premirror
BB_FETCH_PREMIRRORONLY = "1"
CONNECTIVITY_CHECK_URIS=""
DISABLE_NETWORK_SANITY = "1"

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.

Subject: [yocto] Proxy server related package fetching issues
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
