[yocto] Why does my bitbake build hang fetching linux-yocto-3.14.git

[SMITH Peter T]

It seems that there may have been issues with the servers on which Yocto kernel is hosted. I got information from the open source labs guys at Wind River. So the plan is to try again. I am assured it does all work swimmingly.

If it works for you, when running it manually at the same computer (with the same network), it shouldn't at least be any firewall issues. Does it help to re-run the fetch task? (Thinking of temporary network issues together with something stalling).

Just a couple of questions.

Does the log.do_fetch reveal anything?
If you enable the debug flags for bitbake, do you get anything that makes sense when re-running the fetch task?

Cheers,
Anders
