Add retry in runfetchcmd, in case network unstable

[lxf888879]

when network is unstable, bitbake do_fetch will throw an error and stop the whole project building, it will waste a lot of time when the network is bad, so add retry mechanism in runfetchcmd to make project building more stable.

Any feedback why this is not reviewed?

is there any plan to merge this patch?
Network issues are a very common issue, losing many time when we need to relaunch it.

Hello, you can change your fetch behaviors also with the Variable:

FETCHCMD_wget

Hello, this change is not pushed to bitbake, their github repo is just a replication with only read permission, to submit code need go to their official site, so this change in GitHub is pending.发自我的iPhone------------------ Original ------------------From: Nico Müller <notifications@github.com>Date: Thu,Jan 21,2021 9:58 PMTo: openembedded/bitbake <bitbake@noreply.github.com>Cc: Arno Li <lixiaofu89@gmail.com>, Author <author@noreply.github.com>Subject: Re: [openembedded/bitbake] Add retry in runfetchcmd, in case networkunstable (#22) Hello, you can change your fetch behaviors also with the Variable: FETCHCMD_wget —You are receiving this because you authored the thread.Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.

I do not know if here is reasonable place to give some comments
I first use the yocto, which bitbake first compile image, which will download many packages, which slow.
specifically for some bigger package, which last too much time.
I am thinking if there have plan replace wget with aria2.

How is this not yet merged ?

do_fetch is very sensitive to network "instability" (BitTorrent isn't, even Microsoft rely on a similar protocol for its updates).
