Failed to get froyo

[lakshm...@gmail.com]

Hi All,
I'm trying to do fresh checkout on froyo branch and I get the following error:
* [new tag] android-sdk-tools_r7 -> android-sdk-tools_r7
From git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest
* [new tag] android-1.0 -> android-1.0
error: revision froyo in manifests not found

Command is shown below.

repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b froyo

thanks
lb

I have the same thing here. It looks like the froyo branch has been removed from the manifest.git
My git skilzz are not good enough to understand where to look to find when branches are created and removed on the repo

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/manifest.git
Shows some recent changes

for example b3a7d09332e460b067c560cddf39be2432ed171a create a manifest files with hardcoded revisions for the froyo branch
froyo-20101201.xml

Hi.
I've seen the same questions about froyo and other "un-repo-init-able"
branches, since the beginning of 2010.
Always the same answer "repo init -u <...> -b froyo", which of course,
is not working anymore.

Has anyone an answer?
How do I get a list of "gittable/initable" android branches/tags/
revisions?

I think I got it.
See the list of "heads" in http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/libcore.git;a=heads
I've selected "-b froyo-plus-aosp", and "repo init" + "repo sync" seem
to be working.

Good luck

Koby

But how to you know if this the right one? and mainly why did the froyo branch disappear. Is this something we need to file a bug against
or is everything just fine?
