Could you post some logs of the build showing this problem please?

Elsewhere you pointed out a recipe with a plain SRC_URI = "ftp://xxx"
address which would be the correct way to do this.

I suspect you have multiple mesa recipes and its selecting a "git://"
based one over the "ftp://" one you think its using. The "easy" way to
tell would be to delete the git mesa recipes and then it will probably
use the one you're expecting.

The better way to tell it to use the right recipe would be:

PREFERRED_VERSION_mesa = "7.9"

(assuming the recipe is called mesa)

It would be easier to help if we had some logs and more information
about what you're trying to do though, I'm just having to guess.

Cheers,
