oelint.vars.srcurifile

severity: warning

Example

In any recipe

SRC_URI += "file://abc"
SRC_URI += "git://foo.org/gaz.git"

Why is this bad?

When using devtool check-upgrade-status to check for updates of the recipe, devtool only uses the first item of SRC_URI - in this case a file fetcher that will not change.

Leading potentially to missing out on upstream updates to the source code

Ways to fix it

Put file fetcher at the end of the SRC_URI list

SRC_URI += "git://foo.org/gaz.git"
SRC_URI += "file://abc"
