[Android Source Download] Issue in downloading Android Source

[R Arun]

Hi all,

I have tried to download the android source in my Ubuntu 9.04 (kernel version 2.6.28-11-generic). I have followed the steps mentioned in the site (http://source.android.com/source/download.html) to download. But when i tried to initialize the 'repo' with the latest version of repository using the command (repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git), i am getting the following error.

--------------------------------<Error Msg Snip begin>--------------------------------------

I have pinged all the ip address shown in the error message, but it fails. I would appreciate any help to resolve this problem.

FYI: I have attached the file (Steps_Followed.txt) which contains the steps that i have followed to download the Android Source.

Thanks in advance,

Hi all

I think you are behind the proxy server.

Thanks

Hi Arun,
You are behind the proxy and I guess you cannot download with "git://
android.git.kernel.org/tools/repo.git" (from your log)

Steps:
1. repo init -u http://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git

After it will download some files and kept in .repo folder.
You need to update the following two files in your sync dir.

2. .repo/manifest.xml (line 2 - replace this line "git://
android.git.kernel.org" with "http://android.git.kernel.org")
3. .repo/repo/repo (Line 5 - Replace this line with "git://
android.git.kernel.org/tools/repo.git" with "http://
android.git.kernel.org/tools/repo.git")

It means just you need to change "git" with "http" in the above two
places.

Hope it will download your source.
Thanks

If you are behind a proxy server, just try searching for "repo behind proxy" and you will get the steps to configure it.

Looks like firewall is blocking the outgoing git connection. Try with
HTTP or talk to your admin about this.

Working as root user for all task is bad habit. Switch to root, only
for doing the admin and rest of the time, work as normal user.

I have been unable to repo sync or repo init since 3 days ago also.
It's not a firewall issue because I have no firewall and because it
was working fine 3 days ago. I couldn't repo sync, that's why i
deleted my whole repo of the android source and now I can't repo init.
It just hangs there and times out at this point:

Hi,

You may try to do it from a different place. Meaning if currently you
are downloading the source from office, you may try from home or
school etc.

I also faced the same problem, it hanged in repo sync (not sure why?)
and I tried from a different place and there was no issues.

Perumal
