Hello,  
I’m trying to build from source the FW R15 for the CatM and my make is always stuck at this step :

Any idea why bitbake is stuck?

```auto
meta-networking = "HEAD:7889158dcd187546fc5e99fd81d0779cad3e8d17"
meta                 
meta-poky            
meta-yocto-bsp = "HEAD:ea2d42c2b110cb953dad051b3720d85575bd2b82"
meta-gplv2 = "HEAD:60b251c25ba87e946a0ca4cdc8d17b1cb09292ac"

NOTE: Fetching uninative binary shim http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/uninative/3.4/x86_64-nativesdk-libc.tar.xz;sha256sum=126f4f7f6f21084ee140dac3eb4c536b963837826b7c38599db0b512c3377ba2 (will check PREMIRRORS first)
Initialising tasks: 44% |################################################################ | ETA: 0:00:01

```

In the output, there are some grep error on a missing file (.config)

Some information on the build system:  
Ubuntu 16.04  
Python 2.7.12 and 3.5 (3.5 seem to be used by bitbake)

Found the solution.  
The new environment require an Ubuntu 18.04 (so python 3.6) and specif version of repo (to download code)
