While fetching a repository from GitHub, Jenkins connection times out and I get a following error message.

I was able ping the GitHub fine when Jenkins kicked off the build.

Any help is apprciated.

GitHub has ended support of the git:// protocol. Switch the repository URL from git:// to https://.

I appreciate your prompt reply. I will keep you posted on how it goes.

I changed the URL to https:// but now I get following error. How do I add find the checksum of the openveg repository on the GiLab

If this change is expected (e.g. you have upgraded to a new version without updating the checksums) then you can use these lines within the recipe:
SRC_URI[openvg.md5sum] = “e6094ed116a4d31c15966428ef25e6fa”
SRC_URI[openvg.sha256sum] = “1bc097ef91b4bfdc4a6883714a39e04cf26e2984546c8b55de15229e56de3b45”
Otherwise you should retry the download and/or check with upstream to determine if the file has become corrupted or otherwise unexpectedly modified.

You’ve now switched from asking a question about Jenkins to asking a question about your specific use of a particular tool in a specific repository. It seems likely that the only people who can help you with that question are the people who provided that tool.

It appears that the workspace name is yocto-rebound. I assume that means you’re working on something related to the Yocto development environment. One of the scripts in that environment is surprised by something in that workspace. You could try deleting the workspace to see if that resolves it. You could ask colleagues to see what they know about Yocto’s handling of something that Yocto calls a “Fetcher”.
