[yocto] Problem using Subversion in Pyro

[Alan Levy]

I want to assign SRCREV to PV, which is perfectly legitimate, so that I can capture the SVN revision number used to build the code. Here's a simple recipe which exhibits the problem:

DESCRIPTION = "Recipe to test SVN"
PACKAGE_ARCH = "${MACHINE_ARCH}"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"
PV = "${SRCPV}"
SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"
SRC_URI = "svn://server/path;module=my_module"

If you comment out the line referring to SRCPV all is well, if you include it bitbake blows up, even if I just perform cleansstate.

SRCREV is supposed to be hardcoded in the recipe. What is the reason you need to use svn to set it? Can you show how it's specifically done in your recipe?
