[yocto] Question about fetching git URI with protocol=https

[Vuille, Martin (Martin)]

Poky Daisy 1.6.1

I have a recipe that must fetch from a git repo using https. I have specified
";protocol=https" in the SRC_URI.

The fetch task for this recipe is failing with:

                ERROR: Fetcher failure: Fetch command failed with exit code 128, output:
                Cloning into bare repository '<path>'...
                fatal: unable to access '<URL>': error setting certificate verify locations:
                  CAfile: <path>/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
                  CApath: none

which I understand to be a curl error and, indeed, there is no such file.

It is my understanding that this file should be created by building the ca-certificates package.

The build is running on Ubuntu 12.04, so a git-native was built in the
development tools, as well as a curl-native. The curl recipe has an RRECOMMENDS
for ca-certificates, but that package does not show up in "bitbake -g" and is
not being built. Hence the file not being present in the sysroot.

I would appreciate some guidance as to what is missing/how I can resolve
this issue. I don't want these certificates to show up in the target images or
in the SDK, I only need them to fetch for building.

Regards,
MV
