I set in .gitconfig to always use https:// (don't forget 'git' at the end of 
path) instead git:// for yoctoproject url

[url "https://git.yoctoproject.org/git/";]
        insteadOf = git://git.yoctoproject.org/

Kind regards,

Subject: [yocto] Yocto git server via http and mirror tarballs

Hi

Because of firewall restrictions I'm not always not able to access the 
git.yoctoproject.org via the git protocol but I'm required to use http.

By default most of the recipes in Poky recipes use the git protocol not the 
http protocol. For example yocto-kernel-tools points to repositories 
"git://git.yoctoproject.org/yocto-kernel-tools" instead of 
"http://git.yoctoproject.org/git/yocto-kernel-tools";.

To work around this issue I added a mirror rules for rewriting the protocol 
like this:

MIRRORS += "\
    git://git.yoctoproject.org/.*                               
git://git.yoctoproject.org/git/PATH;protocol=http \n \
    "

This seems to work and I'm able to fetch the sources even when git access is 
not possible.

But when I then enable BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS = "1" I'm starting to get 
different tarball names depending on what protocol was used.
For example "git2_git.yoctoproject.org.yocto-kernel-tools.git.tar.gz" vs 
"git2_git.yoctoproject.org.git.yocto-kernel-tools.git.tar.gz".

I assume this happens because the first tarball was create while git access was 
possible, while the second one was created when only http was possible:
git.yoctoproject.org/git => git.yoctoproject.org.git
git.yoctoproject.org     => git.yoctoproject.org

Is there any way to prevent the tarballs from having different names? For 
example derive the name always from the original URL not the mirror one?

Or is there a better way to achieve what we are doing with MIRROR?

Thanks for your help.

Pascal
