[bitbake-devel] CVS support on Yocto 2.3 (Pyro) and bitbake 1.34

[Fred Lamer]

Hi,

I'm trying to bring a project from Yocto 2.1 (Krogoth) to 2.3 (Pyro). I 
have a problem with one of my recipe that tries to fetch from a cvs 
repository. The recipe work perfectly on Yocto 2.1 (using bitbake 1.30), 
but not on Yocto 2.3 (using bitbake 1.34).

It seems like 'cvs' is not installed on the host system? I get the 
following error:

********************************************************************************************************************************************************

Fetcher failure: Fetch command export 
PATH="/media/yocto/yocto-vetrobot-next.git/build/tmp/sysroots-uninative/x86_64-linux/usr/bin:/media/yocto/yocto-vetrobot-next.git/poky/scripts:/media/yocto/yocto-vetrobot-next.git/build/tmp/work/corei7-64-poky-linux/libev/4.15-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/x86_64-poky-linux:/media/yocto/yocto-vetrobot-next.git/build/tmp/work/corei7-64-poky-linux/libev/4.15-r0/recipe-sysroot/usr/bin/crossscripts:/media/yocto/yocto-vetrobot-next.git/build/tmp/work/corei7-64-poky-linux/libev/4.15-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/sbin:/media/yocto/yocto-vetrobot-next.git/build/tmp/work/corei7-64-poky-linux/libev/4.15-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin:/media/yocto/yocto-vetrobot-next.git/build/tmp/work/corei7-64-poky-linux/libev/4.15-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/sbin:/media/yocto/yocto-vetrobot-next.git/build/tmp/work/corei7-64-poky-linux/libev/4.15-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/bin:/media/yocto/yocto-vetrobot-next.git/poky/bitbake/bin:/media/yocto/yocto-vetrobot-next.git/build/tmp/hosttools"; 
export HOME="/home/fred"; /usr/bin/env cvs 
'-d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.schmorp.de:/schmorpforge' co -r rel-4_15 libev 
failed with exit code 127, output:

/usr/bin/env: ‘cvs’: No such file or directory

********************************************************************************************************************************************************

So, it seems like cvs is either not installed or not in the PATH. Anyone 
ever had this problem?

Note that this if I copy/paste this command outside of the bitbake 
environnement:

************************************************************************************************

/usr/bin/env cvs '-d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.schmorp.de:/schmorpforge' co 
-r rel-4_15 libev

************************************************************************************************

it works perfectly (so it's not a fetch error from the repo).

Thanks

Fred
