build fails to fetch sources

[bomilkar]

Following the instructions in README.md running

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Openvario/meta-openvario.git

results in the following error: ...... Cloning into '/media/disk2/OV_build_2022_master_7.24rc1/meta-openvario/meta-sunxi'... fatal: remote error: The unauthenticated git protocol on port 9418 is no longer supported. Please see https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/ for more information. fatal: clone of 'git://github.com/linux-sunxi/meta-sunxi.git' into submodule path '/media/disk2/OV_build_2022_master_7.24rc1/meta-openvario/meta-sunxi' failed Failed to clone 'meta-sunxi'. Retry scheduled ....

The error message "The unauthenticated git protocol on port 9418 is no longer supported" seem to indicate the issue. But I don't know where and how to fix this.

The url in the submodule needs to be changed from git to https or git+ssh.

I can manually install the offending module: git clone https://github.com/linux-sunxi/meta-sunxi.git That goes through, but it doesn't seem to be enough: there is no openembedded-core/oe-init-build-env I don't understand when the directory openembedded-core is supposed to be populated. Mine is empty at that stage.

Do I have to "repo init" after fetching the repos?

[lordfolken]

https://github.com/Openvario/meta-openvario/blob/master/.gitmodules list all the submodules.The submodules are other projects and are not part of the meta-openvario project.

If you want to change it without rechecking out my branch:

git submodule deinit meta-sunxi
<edit .gitmodules>
git submodule init 
git submodule update
git submodule sync

Thanks, this does the trick! Assuming PR #288 gets merged I close this.
