oelint.vars.srcurisrcrevtag

severity: error

Example

In any bitbake recipe

SRC_URI += "git://foo.org/gaz.git;tag=${PV}"
SRCREV = "e5fa44f2b31c1fb553b6021e7360d07d5d91ff5e"

Why is this bad?

tag fetcher parameter and a SRCREV setting contradict each other. SRCREV is always preferred over the use of tag fetcher parameter.

Ways to fix it

Use fixed revisions only and no tag parameter

SRC_URI += "git://foo.org/gaz.git"
SRCREV = "e5fa44f2b31c1fb553b6021e7360d07d5d91ff5e"
