Hi, Rudolf. Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am aware of the eSDK functionality, however, I have some unique requirements that I am trying to work around. Regardless... what I am doing should work, no? I simply want to use a local git repo (the directory itself hence protocol=file) instead of what the recipe specifies. Looks like the fetch is working but the do_unpack task is ignoring PREMIRRORS (or at least the localpath variable seems wrong).
