repo sync stalling

[Dean Horak]

I've been trying to perform a repo sync for three days now, and it
keeps stalling a various points along the way.

dhora90@ubuntu-virtualbox:~/mydroid$ repo sync
Fetching projects: 59% (99/167)

I'm running Ubuntu on a VirtualBox server sitting on a Windows XP
host.

Any ideas?

You can try to sync the projects one at a time with the following command:

repo forall -c 'echo $REPO_PATH starting ; repo sync . ; echo $REPO_PATH done'

This'll give a better hint about which specific project is having a hard time.

Thanks for the tip.

The problem appears to be an issue with the connection stalling. Using
the command you provided I was able to determine it is currently
failing on the platform/prebuilt project. However, when I attempt to
sync that project alone, it again stalls at various points. I tried
several times (after running for a while each time) but the highest I
was able to get was 87% before it stalled again.

dhora90@ubuntu-virtualbox:~/mydroid$ repo sync platform/prebuilt
remote: Counting objects: 8543, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (4064/4064), done.
Receiving objects: 72% (6157/8543), 547.25 MiB | 137 KiB/s

I'm guessing the problem is that the connection is periodically timing
out, but instead of retrying it just stalls. Is there a patch
available to remedy this, and if not, can you point me to where a
patch for this might be implemented? I have a project I'd love to get
started on but I can't seem to get out of the starting gate.

Thanks,
Dean

Unfortunately the git protocol doesn't allow resuming broken
connections, and the larger projects (frameworks/base and prebuilt)
can indeed cause problems.

Yes, this was also my problem.
I did 'repo sync' from my remote server with fast connection.
Then, i copy the repo using rsync to my laptop.

Try this project, it will restart repo if any error or timeout.
