@Glenn Kasten
Thanks for your reply, but as you said:
“But you might need to start over with a completely new download, and on a machine with a lot more disk space available. “
Me: Thanks, but that would not seem to solve the origin of the problem, which I have already mentioned, `n which is, how to pause the downloading of the source (how to pause the ‘repo sync’ command)?
“ - check your disk space and make sure you have *lots* available, and consider adding even more space
- start a new download”
Me: Even if I have much space available, `n also if I add extra, the next problem [after the first, above] is:
How to stop the accumulation of these ‘tmp_pack_...’ files, [as because, if the accumulation isn’t stopped, then even much free space will get reduced], `n,
[For now], how to extract the code using the existing ‘tmp_pack_...’ files [as the existing files are also of many GB s collectively]?
Thanks,
Waiting for your help.
