[yocto] can bitbake build offline ?

[MOHAMMAD RASIM]

Well, actually I used the find command in that wiki page to find the 
recipe that uses tag name to chose github revision and it found only one 
recipe

 >meta-openembedded/meta-initramfs/recipes-devtools/mtd/ubi-utils-klibc_1.5.1.bb

I masked this recipe in the local.conf file and bitbake failed at 
parsing other recipes, looking at those recipes I saw that they don't 
use tag names but they use

 >SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"

which is logical since bitbake has to issue ls-remote to know what is 
the latest revision on the remote git repo (maybe the wiki page needs 
update to point this ?)

Now I can't remove this AUTOREV in these recipes since I need bitbake to 
fetch the latest updates ( I push updates regularly on that repo and I 
don't want to update the recipe file each time to add the latest revision)

So, here comes the hard part, Is it possible to tell bitbake to issue 
ls-remote if there is network and to use the latest fetched revision in 
the sources directory if the network is disabled ? that way I can use 
${AUTOREV} in my recipes and bitbake will build from the local repo in 
the sources directory unless there is network to update the local repo, 
probably there is no such thing :) .

Thanks
