Mity CPU Platforms » MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms)

I'd like to report an issue in the meta-mitydsp-l138 (branch "daisy")repo where recipes use SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}". The specific issue I saw was caused by recent changes being pushed to the master branch of the u-boot-mitydspl138 repo, to which recipes in meta-mitydsp-l138 refer using SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"; the changes broke the Yocto build I use as patches being applied fail. I might add that the recipe for our product was also written by Critical Link for a contract, and it also included SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}" (and the patches themselves). While functional at the time, the simple updates and pushes to u-boot-mitydspl138 broke quite a few things. My solution will be to revise the u-boot-mitydspl138 repo to have SRCREV point to the correct commit. I'd be happy to push the change for upstream if we can set up a merge request.

Meanwhile, I would recommend the general practice of always using specific commit hashes for all SRCREV commands in bitbake recipes to avoid further future problems. The practice assures any future build will exactly reproduce the build that was done originally.
