RFC 1/1 DISTRO_MIRRORS / DISTRO_PREMIRRORS

Folks,

Recently we have seen a number of fetch failures, due to upstream sites being down or deprecated (tinylogin, pscmic and others).

The issue is that oe-core as a non-distro does not have a default set of mirrors, which causes the fetcher to fail as there is no fall-back mirror to distrubte the source code.

As has been pointed out, different projects and distributions (Yocto Project and Angstrom) both have upstream source mirrors which could be used. Currently the Yocto Project defines it's MIRRORS and PREMIRRORS in meta-yocto/conf/distro/poky.conf.

I propose that we add a list of DISTO_MIRRORS and DISTRO_PREMIRRORS with default settings pointing to the current autobuilder.yoctoproject.org source site. These would be added to the mirrors.bbclass, so that oe-core will have a default set of mirrors that can be overridden by a distro or layer.

The only concern I have is that we may miss when an upstream source location changes, thus not fixing a recipe when a package moves, disappears and otherwise can't be downloaded.

yeah thats why mirror.openembedded.org usually contains the sources that are not found anywhere.

How up to date is it and how is it maintained? Is it possible for this mirror site to fall behind oe-core?

oe.dev falls back to it by default and whenever there is a report of non existing tars they are put up there.

To be clear, mirrors.openembedded.org is a "last resort" type of mirror (eg the tinylogin case) whereas autobuilder.yoctoproject.org and the angstrom mirrors are complete (modulo fetch2 git issues, on the angstrom side) mirrors.

Both have their uses and I think for oe-core we want just the former (so that when tzcode/tzdata get their weekly upgrade, we know) while poky, angstrom, etc, etc, will continue to want what they have now.
