For everyone's benefit, FYI Brian and I have talked offline, but there are several bugs and opportunities for improvement here as it turns out. I have filed the following bugs: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11389 https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11390 https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11391 https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11393 https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11392 The current workaround for this particular example is to use this: devtool add --version 2.4.2 mbedtls "git://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls;branch=mbedtls-2.4;rev=mbedtls-2.4.2" By using the default git protocol rather than ssh, we avoid having to use git@ which avoids triggering 11390 or 11391. Also worth noting is that you must use quotes around the URL if you're specifying a revision and/or branch because of the ; character, otherwise your shell will eat that part and because something=value is a valid shell command you won't get an error. It could be that we need to provide additional explicit command-line options for specifying the branch/tag/revision to avoid that, I'm not sure if there's another practical way - suggestions welcome.
