UBOOT relocation to SVN causes build issue

[mark@bish.net]

We are pulling uboot from a SVN repo and not a git repo.

Petalinux/Yocto tries to build it in: build/tmp/work/plnx_arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi/u-boot-xlnx/v2017.01-xilinx-v2017.2+git15-r0/git

but nothing is in that directory.  It is in:

build/tmp3/work/plnx_arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi/u-boot-xlnx/v2017.01-xilinx-v2017.2+git15-r0/trunk

In /opt/pkg/petalinux/2017.2/components/yocto/source/arm/layers/meta-xilinx/recipes-bsp/u-boot/u-boot-xlnx.inc this is set:

S = "${WORKDIR}/git"

which is causing the issue. The easy thing is to change that to:

S = "${WORKDIR}/trunk"

and move on, but is there a better way for it to switch correctly between the two (/git,/trunk) sub-directories depending on if you are using git or SVN to pull down the sources?

We are going to be pulling down the linux kernel from SVN as well and I'm sure I am going to run into the same issue.

Hi Mark

Yes, Xilinx developed and hence support their meta layers and recipes to let the source be picked from Github.

To make this work for SVN, it might require manual effort of changing the meta layer accordingly.

Will make a note of this and let you know if it is possible to have the other subversion control support

Best Regards

Can you also let me know about the kernel into SVN. It also fails and I'm having a heck of a time finding the correct script on that one.
