Hi, more SPAM, sorry
I am behind a proxy which blocks ftp traffic (stupid I know). To get around this I was doing things like
export GNU_MIRROR = “http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu”
in my local.conf. Now the policy of bitbake WRT checking the checksums of packages seems to have changed. Basically conf/checksums.ini looks like this
[ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.11.tar.gz]
md5=988aa098326d5f2b5b5aa4b3efe8d528
sha256=c67b759d96471c9337d3b9f0ab2e1308f461a7dba445cfe0c3750db15b7ca77f
and is (obvioulsy) missing the entry for my case, which is
[http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.11.tar.gz]
md5=988aa098326d5f2b5b5aa4b3efe8d528
sha256=c67b759d96471c9337d3b9f0ab2e1308f461a7dba445cfe0c3750db15b7ca77f
I dont want to have to change all the checksums to match the mirror I am using, so I was wondering if I could just tell BB/OE to not check them. Othewise the build fails with
NOTE: package m4-native-1.4.11-r0: task do_fetch: started
DEBUG: update_data()
ERROR: m4-native-1.4.11: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.11.tar.gz has no entry in conf/checksums.ini, not checking URI

Thanks
