<div><div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Come on Rod! this was only a gentle way to say i have some doubts about the opinion of a such guru as you :)<br>Let's try to help Harald instead!<br><br>I finally got bitbake to compile navit_cvs editing openembedded/packages/navit/<a href="http://navit_cvs.bb">navit_cvs.bb</a> and commenting the line DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1" as it seems a way to block a bb recipie ala gentoo package.mask.<br>
<br>Howewer note that in the file openembedded/conf/distro/include preferred-om-2008-versions.inc you have PREFERRED_VERSION_navit ?= "0.0.3", this will be ignored if in your git tree there is no navit 0.0.3 recipie (as in my case) and cvs version will be automatically selected.<br>
If in your tree there is a 0.0.3 recipie, you cannot put in local.conf PREFERRED_VERSION_navit ?= "cvs", as this will be not recognized so 0.0.3 will be selected. I do not know if there is a special "string" to indicate to use cvs/svn string, for this you should really ask to bb developers. Actually the weirdness is that you have to comment all PREFERRED_VERSION you have in your .conf files :)<br>
