Yes, that's what I was getting at - there should be a fallback to the archives since oe-core releases typically won't be using the latest release versions. Your new patch looks good. Checking subversion on http://archive.apache.org/dist today though, the archive site does seem to have copies of the latest versions, so not sure what was happening when you looked. > This problem also shows up with debian upstream. > > Alex > -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
