[yocto] Troubleshooting ERROR: Function 'Fetcher failure for URL: 'cvs://anoncvs:anoncvs at anoncvs.handhelds.org/cvs; module=apps/update-rc.d; tag=r0_7'?

[Daryl Spitzer]

Thanks Richard.

How do I find out where DL_DIR is pointing?

I found this line, commented out in conf/local.conf:

#DL_DIR ?= "${TOPDIR}/downloads"

It's not listed after I run `bitbake -k poky-image-sato`:

OE Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.11.0"
METADATA_BRANCH   = "<unknown>"
METADATA_REVISION = "<unknown>"
TARGET_ARCH       = "i586"
TARGET_OS         = "linux"
MACHINE           = "qemux86"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.0.1"
TARGET_FPU        = ""

And there is no DL_DIR environment variable defined (after I run
`source poky-bernard-5.0.1/poky-init-build-env poky-5.0.1-build`).

There is a poky-5.0.1-build/downloads directory.  I'll assume that's
it.  But I'd like to learn how to find out without guessing.

P.S.  It looks like that was a safe assumption.  The build has moved
past that point of failure.
