Build my own Vix image

So that 5.5.1 branch is missing some important changes…Developer should be fine……what did it fail with?

I don't remember, I'll try a dev build again

A dev build worked for me for an et80000. Just checked out out the 5.5.1 branch of OE-A and then ran a build. (No patches required).
Although looking at what my front-end script would have set for DISTRO_TYPE - it would have left it blank (things must have changed in the last few years).

From what i can see of the meta-oe-alliance/meta-oe/conf/distro/openvix.conf file it checks for DISTRO_TYPE being release - anything else is taken as developer.

OK, I've now had a vuultimo4k build succeed on the 5.5.1 branch. I currently have a ZGemma build going but have discovered that I had managed to use Developer (upper case D) rather than developer (lower case d) that I had been using, so it's building into a different folder. I'll correct that here and should be cooking again.

No idea what you mean by this. DISTRO_TYPE is set on the command line.

ENIGMA2_URI ?=

And that is just the default. Anyone with their own repo overrides that in site.conf.

Sorry, so it is. I didn't read that far down.

Doesn't alter the fact that openvix.conf only checks for it being "release" and treats anything else as developer, e.g.

IMAGE_BUILD = "${@bb.utils.contains("DISTRO_TYPE`", "release", "${BUILD_VERSION}" , "${BUILD_VERSION}.${DEVELOPER_BUILD_VERSION}", d)}"

Officially we only build 2 images, Release and Developer, so why would we have more than 2 options? Anyone who is building something other than the official 2 can feed in whatever values they choose.

The comment was in response to:

I have built a vuultimo4k 6.7.000.007 image on the 5.5.1 branch using DISTRO_TYPE=Developer-OE-A-branch-5-5-1 make image but just using Developer fails.

I have no clue what that is. That was a temporary feature branch. And adding that as DISTRO_TYPE is clearly wrong. Currently 5.5.1 uses Dev branch, and 5.5 uses an old archived branch.

At last I've figured out my problem with building on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - the upgrade from 22.04 had broken NordVPN, as soon as I removed and reinstalled that, the builds started working properly again.
