Error using repo init on Ubuntu

[Traysa Lee]

I am getting the following error and I am not certain why.   I was given this email address with the suggestion that someone might be able to discern this error.  Any help is appreciated

Get https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/repo

error: server certificate verification failed.  CAFile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none while accessinghttps://cromium.googlesource.com/external/repo/info/refs

fatal: HTTP request failed

The command being executed is:

repo init -u https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/manifest.git

Thanks

+gerritcodereview-team might be a better mailing list.
(I don't know how the "repo" thing works)

Nope, gerritcodereview-team is not a better list.

You can try setting the environment variable `GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1` to get a more verbose output of the error and what git is doing.

You can also try looking through some of the responses and linked articles from this stack overflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21181231/server-certificate-verification-failed-cafile-etc-ssl-certs-ca-certificates-c.  It is not recommended to turn off ssl verification though, as some of the answers suggest, as thats not very safe.

Also, a potential source of your problem (which I'm not able to reproduce myself running the repo init command you executed), is in your output:

accessinghttps://cromium.googlesource.com/external/repo/info/refs

There appears to be a typo, "cromium" instead of "chromium" in the url.  Make sure if you appended any '--repo-url' flags as per the developer guide, that there wasn't a typo in the command.
