Unable to download source `n partial files getting accumulated!

[`mCT]

Hi all,

While downloading the source, I require to pause the downloading in between, by using CTRL + C, but the problem is, I don’t get even one line of source to see!!, `n instead, some partial files are getting accumulated in the working directory, which are filling up my disk space rapidly, `n now the disk space is getting choked. So, my questions are:

1. How to extract source code from those partial files?

2. How to successfully pause the downloading of the Android’s source?

If you just want to see the source code, you can get that online without downloading anything.

And a full sync of android + build will be maybe 200GB of data. Why would you download a partial code?

For example here is the HAL file for the GNSS: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/hardware/interfaces/+/refs/heads/master/gnss/2.0/IGnss.hal

Thanks for your reply, but allow me to state the problem in a little more detail. I just wanted to download the source, compile it, `n run the latest version of Android on my phone.

"Why would you download a partial code? "

I attempted to download not the partial source code so as to compile, `n run it in my phone, as I mentioned above, but, due to my internet data quota limits, I have to pause the downloading, which I am not successfully able to do, and it seems, that is why there are partial files (by the name 'tmp_pack_<some text>') left out in the working directory. So will you help me regarding this problem?

And, besides using 'repo', it will be great if there is some other [especially, GUI] way of downloading the source.

Thanks,

Waiting for your reply.

Hi, I was hoping to get some help regarding, the problem in downloading Android source code. Many days have passed since this problem began, and since then, I haven’t tried to download Android’s source again. So can you help me with the following two things:

How to successfully pause the downloading of the Android’s source code in between [as one has to download the source using the console-only application]?

How to determine what’s in those ‘tmp_pack_<some text>’ files, `n how to make use of them, like, using them in a way, which avoids, downloading that part of Android’s source code which maybe already in those files?

Thanks,

Waiting for help.
