  good question ... for which i don't know the answer.  to make sure
this is reproducible, i blew everything away and started from scratch
with a new panda build.  here's my bblayers.conf:


# LAYER_CONF_VERSION is increased each time build/conf/bblayers.conf
# changes incompatibly
LCONF_VERSION = "5"

BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"
BBFILES ?= ""

BBLAYERS ?= " \
  /home/rpjday/y/src/oe-core/meta \
  /home/rpjday/y/src/git/meta-ti \
  "

  and here's my site.conf:


SCONF_VERSION = "1"
SOURCE_MIRROR_URL ?= "file:///home/rpjday/y/src/dl/"
INHERIT += "own-mirrors"
BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS = "1"
# BB_NO_NETWORK = "1"


  once again, here's the allegedly preferred versions:

$ bitbake -s | grep u-boot
nativesdk-u-boot-mkimage                          :2011.06-r0
u-boot                                            :2011.12-r8
u-boot-fw-utils                                   :2011.06-r1
u-boot-mkimage                                    :2011.06-r0
u-boot-mkimage-native                             :2011.06-r0
$

  but when i do a "fetchall", i don't get u-boot_2011.12.  only when i
try to build a core-image-minimal does the build fail toward the end
trying to fetch u-boot_2011.12.  here's the layering info:

$ bitbake-layers show-recipes
... snip ...
u-boot:

i'm sure i'm just doing something silly, but i've never run into the
situation where a "fetchall" doesn't actually fetch absolutely
everything that's needed for the build.
