repo sync problems in Ubuntu 11.04

[e3zkiel]

Hey guys,

I wanted to know if any of you have experience with compiling android from source using Ubuntu 11.04 x64. I have been having some strange issues with git and repo.

Thanks,

e3zkiel

What error are you getting? And I know you said android but are you compiling it or cyanogen?

I was getting gingerbread and cyanogenmod's files from repo using git. I have compiled both of them before. Right now I have created a fresh new VM and following cyanogenmod's wiki for the droid x. I have completely downloaded all the files before hand but was just updating them before I did the make command. When I do repo sync, it gets to about 50% fetching projects pauses. From here I have no internet access within the VM even though I do through the host. I can do a sudo ifconfig down and up and that still doesn't fix the internet issues. Then the terminal times out from the repo sync and states

"android.git.kernel.org[0: 149.20.4.77]: errno=Connection timed out
android.git.kernel.org[0: 2001:4f8:1:10:1972:112:1:0]: errno=Network is unreachable
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Network is unreachable)
error: Cannot fetch blah blah blah (what it's trying to fetch)"

Do you have a firewall set up?

I didn't see in your post of you have git:// or http:// for android.git. kernel


Try replacing git:// with http:// that may do the trick

not that I don't mind doing this through the forum... is there a DroidXforums IRC channel? No I don't have a firewall set up other than what's standard through windows 7 and dd-wrt from the router standpoint.

Did you change git to http?

So
repo init -u http:// *** android kernel git site***

Then go to your ./repo directory

./repo/ manifest.xml rename git://android.git. whatever to http:// android git


Then ./repo/repo/repo change the git:// in the "tools" repo git ( it'll have tools in the git name) to http://

using this site: Motorola Droid X: Compile CyanogenMod (Linux) - CyanogenMod Wiki

I installed repo using git:// instead of http://

I could not find the repo directory you were referring to. I found a hidden .repoconfig directory but nothing else.

Would changing the repo installation from git to http fix my problems? why would they have a git protocol to begin with and then have it only work with http. So stupid...

Yeah git works for me on Linux don't know if it's cause your using a VM or if the android git is being picky I'll find a link that explains it better than i did with that hack job of explanation haha give me a tic
