Build my own Vix image

[birdman]

This is what I get using 4.4, the error happens soon after the build starts...

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:

    Fetcher failure for URL: 'https://www.example.com/'. URL https://www.example.com/ doesn't work.
    Please ensure your host's network is configured correctly,
    or set BB_NO_NETWORK = "1" to disable network access if
    all required sources are on local disk.

I got this back in March.
openembedded-core/meta/conf/distro/include/default-distrovars.inc includes a default setting for CONNECTIVITY_CHECK_URIS of https://www.example.com/ (which will never work). So something is supposed to set a usable value. But nothing ever does.

My comments at the time were:

Now, I can set this globally for my set-up in openembedded-core/meta/conf/conf/local.conf (which looks like a bug, as the local.conf.example file is in the first conf/, but the code only ever looks in the conf/conf/ location).

How do others set this?

The pathnames are as I gave them. However, having actually made that fix and started a build I can now remove that fix and the build still starts. Perhaps something has been added in that last few days that only gets used on building a specific, common part.

I've also done a completely fresh build of 4.4 since and not seen this problem.

None of which is really all that helpful....
