Actual size of download when 'repo sync' is invoked

[Ahmad Ishtiaque]

Hi guys!

This is the first time I have taken an Android build project in hand and I want to port the resulting build into my device. As a start, I have started downloading the source following source.android.com . It was on the same website that I saw the source size should be approximately 8.5GB in size. However, my .repo folder in the working directory is already 11.0GB in size(!?!?) Is this normal? I just followed whatever was stated in the http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html page.

Also, is there any way to find out how much of cloning is actually left?

Thank you for any reply.

It looks like that number is about 2 years old.  I'll ask someone to review this section for recent numbers.

after you run repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b BRANCH_NAME, you can edit your local manifest to drop some repos you don't want to be fetched (devices specific repos, documentation...)

carlo: I have absolutely no idea which repo will be useful for building and which repo will not... But as it turns out I found out that the folder ~WORKING_DI.repo/project-objects/platform folder is the largest in size (13.9GB)

Also, I'm cloning the master branch... Is it huge? How do I know?

Size isn't the problem for me actually, I just want to know how large the repo exactly is.

Thanks

Hi Ahmad Ishtiaque,

Is 11.0GB your final size? I have tried this several times and each time I got to end up with disk space full(I have 40GB+ free disk space).

I have extended my virtual Ubuntu's disk space from 40GB to 60GB and not yet solved the problem.

Any suggests?

Thanks

OK, here is some current data:

Google AOSP master branch:
- Google AOSP - .repo alone: ~31GiB (almost all in .repo/project-objects)
- Google AOSP "out" directory - none
  (Currently I don't have an "out" directory, but this is anyway device and setting dependent.)
- Google AOSP complete tree (includes .repo): ~46GiB

Linaro PandaBoard kk-44 (KitKat 4.4.4):
- Linaro kk-44 for pandaboard - .repo alone: ~11GiB
- Linaro kk-44 - panda-eng "out" alone: ~25GiB
- Linaro kk-44 complete tree (includes out and .repo): ~48GiB
  (NB: Linaro also includes u-boot and the Linux kernel!)

Hope this helps.

Hagen or anyone else with current data ...

      we have an updated draft of the documentation in review now at this CL

If you would like to review it for accuracy before it is published, please see

the CL and reply there with your comments.

Thanks

Hi Ahmad,

After u run "repo init ...... -b BRANCH_NAME" , try below options while syncing

repo sync -qcj8 (with the “-c” flag  flag, repo will only download the revision (branch) that is specified in the manifest, not all the branches that are on the remote server. It will thus save us quite some space, and again it will take less time to download.)

repo sync --no-tags -qcj8  (u can try the no-tags option as well)

Also as Carlo suggested, you can only sync folders of your choice instead of all.

Hope this info is helpful.

New numbers are now published at http://source.android.com/source/building.html

Thanks to everyone for reporting the error and for the corrections.

Looks good. - Many thanks, Glenn!

Sorry for the late info, but I figure that since it can't be found anywhere else, this would be an appropriate place.

Just used "repo sync" to pull "master" of AOSP

$du -s -BM /developer/master

59465M  /developer/master

Just cloned a mirror today;

$ du -sh ./mirror
