denzil firewall problems

Hi all,

I'm trying to take Denzil out for a spin, and when I do bitbake, from inside Sony (behind our corporate firewall) I get this:

(I was doing 'bitbake poky-image-sato')
-------------
...
ERROR: OE-core's config sanity checker detected a potential misconfiguration.
Either fix the cause of this error or at your own risk disable the checker (see sanity.conf). Following is the list of potential problems / advisories:

Failed to fetch test data from the network. Please ensure your network is configured correctly.

ERROR: Execution of event handler 'check_sanity_eventhandler' failed
-------------

I tried to follow the instructions at:
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Working_Behind_a_Network_Proxy
but nothing worked. These look like instructions for SOCKS proxies. I only have access to HTTP proxies.

Here's what I got from 'bitbake -DDD -v poky-image-sato', after configuring an 'nc'-based git-proxy:

I seem to recall in previous Yocto versions a mechanism to point the package fetcher to a mirror. Is this still available? If so, where would I find instructions for this?

Alternatively, I have a builder image for denzil. Is there a way to use the material in that image as a source mirror snapshot?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

P.S. With regards to disabling the checker (as a possible workaround for the problem), I found sanity.conf at poky-denzil-7.0/meta/conf/sanity.conf. I looked at it (and meta/classes/sanity.bbclass) but it's not obvious to me how I would disable it.

Can you run that command outside of the yocto build and it works OK?

Did you set GIT_PROXY_COMMAND in your local.conf? I recall that git-proxy script on the wiki page not working all that well. (I've gone through all the same problems with our proxy as well). There is a connect-proxy utility available on most distros, and then I've been using this script:

$ cat ../scripts/git-proxy
#!/bin/sh

if [[ "$@" =~ "$GIT_PROXY_IGNORE" ]]
then

	nc $@
else
	/usr/bin/connect-proxy -S wwwgate0.freescale.net:1090 $@

fi

Not 100% sure how it evolved to this point though.
