Accessing a git repo over https in a recipe does not work when our git-native is used.
Use --enable-buildtools=yes to force using the provided git-native: $ /wrlinux-6/wrlinux/configure --enable-board=ti-am335x --enable-rootfs=glibc-core --enable-kernel=standard --enable-buildtools=yes --with-rcpl-version=0021 Now, there are 2 ways to reproduce: 1. Inside a recipe: Add this to a recipe: SRC_URI += "git://github.com/spinetix/phantomjs.git;branch=spx-1.9;protocol=https" When your package is fetched, you'll find this error: fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/spinetix/phantomjs.git/': Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl 2. Use a devshell: $ make -C build base-files.devshell # which git /prj/bitbake_build/buildtools/sysroots/x86_64-wrlinuxsdk-linux/usr/bin/git # git clone https://github.com/spinetix/phantomjs.git Cloning into 'phantomjs'... warning: templates not found /builds/wr-20130919-qemux86/bitbake_build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/share/git-core/templates fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/spinetix/phantomjs.git/': Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl
