Cannot pull from gitscm.sf.net

Every attempt to clone or pull project from gitscm.sf.net results in a connection reset on my home desktop in China and servers in Japan and London.

git.code.sf.net seems working. However, paths on the working sf server has changed and the repo isn't aware of that. Hoe can I fix this?

Yes. SF git seems becomes unstable recently.
I also see it frequently.

I've contacted SF admin but just got the
bureaucratic reply:

"The most likely issue is that something is wrong with your network.
Connection reset by peer is an operating system level network disconnection.
However, if your network is fine try the following command:

git gc

and then try running the commands again."

But I don't think it's a client side issue since
more and more people complain it.

Anyway, just try it repeatedly until it succeeds
before SF can fix the issue.
That is what I am doing.

If you have the similar issue, please help to
send an email to SF operators:

SF.Net Ops <sfne...@slashdotmedia.com>

Remember to show the git command you did
and copy the error messages you got.

I think they will take it more seriously
if more people complain.
Let them know it's not a personal issue
on the client side but a global issue
on the SF server side.

i registered user name on the SF, then use the cmd:
$ git clone ssh://my_user_name@git.code.sf.net/p/android-x86/manifest android-x86-manifest
$ Password:(input my passwd)
then i got two files: cm.xml & default.xml under the folder "android-x86-manifest"

then do this:
$ cd android-x86-manifest
$ repo init -m default.xml -u git://gitscm.sf.net/gitroot/android-x86/manifest -b marshmallow-x86
$ repo sync

That's right, or not?

I messaged to sf . They replied with git clone ssh://my_user_name@git.code.sf.net/p/android-x86/manifest android-x86-manifest
But it didn't solve problem with Connection reset. Have anybody other solution ?

I'm also trying to clone repo since yesterday. From my kimsufi server (with 100/100 connection) i'm trying in while [ true ] loop since yesterday and got about 15 gigabytes for now.

By the way, can anyone tell me how much space takes complete repository?

You need about 40GB to sync the code completely.
To build it, additional 40GB~60GB is required.

Oh, this was slightly smaller about a year ago ;)

Is there a way to get only single project? I'm interested in kernel sources only - need to adjust some things for my Kiano X1 FHD (also known as Cube iWork 10 but Kiano version has no native Android support like Cube).

The instruction is correct.
You just need to be more patient.

Use the command to sync x86 projects only
and don't do parallel sync (-j1):

It just took me less than 6min to complete the sync:

Thank's. I already cloned it using just git and was able to build working kernel.

By the way, I built it successfully on what's known as "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows".

the sf guys are telling me to use the supported git.code.sf.net

So gitscm.sf.net is not the normal way to clone from sf?

Thanks for your answer, syncing each repo one by one is helpful for me. I have very bad connectivity to sourceforge. So I have made "improvements" for "repo sync": in file .repo/repo/subcmds/sync.py I have removed all fetch error throws and have added fetch trying until success for each project. After that I've downloaded all repos using "repo sync -j1". Changed "sync.py" in attachement, before using it should be compiled "python -m compileall sync.py".

Hello,

While the instructions are certainly correct and a sync will eventually produce a working copy of android-x86 (hopefully; I’ve run various scripts for a whole day in order to mitigate the "connection reset by peer" issues and I have not obtained all of the source yet), I have to point out that as said previously in this thread, git.code.sf.net appears to be the new repository endpoint advertised by sourceforge.

I had more luck re-cloning the manifest from git://git.code.sf.net/p/android-x86/manifest and then changing the name="" attributes for the android-x86 forks to remove the leading platform/ prefix and replace the slashes (/) with underscores (_). E.g. for frameworks/base it translates to git://git.code.sf.net/p/android-x86/frameworks_base. Maybe the manifest and build instructions could be updated to reflect that, because those repos appear to have much better availability.
Thanks.

This has been explained several times.
We kept the slashes / on purpose as
AOSP's convention to avoid the force-sync issue.
git.code.sf.net doesn't support that.
So we won't change to that.

You are free to do that yourself, of course.
(if you don't care or know how to handle the force-sync issue)

Re-consider the issue, I think it's better we provide
an alternative url (git.code.sf.net) to download.
So I created another branch sf-marshmallow-x86
for the new url:

repo init -u http://git.code.sf.net/p/android-x86/manifest -b sf-marshmallow-x86
repo sync --no-tags --no-clone-bundle

This allows you to sync from git.code.sf.net directly.
However, you may encounter force-sync issue
if we switch projects from aosp to x86 or vice versa
in the future. Anyway, use it at your own risk.

Hi.

Newbe but I've tried to sync using the git.code.sf.net (it was impossible from gitscm.sf.net), follow guides and no error showed in terminal, but when I try to compile; make iso_img TARGET_PRODUCT=android_x86, I get this message:

make: *** No rule to make target `frameworks/base/packages/SettingsLib/common.mk'. Stop.

Seems that frameworks/base project is not cloned properly.

Any similar experience?

Due to maintenance reason, please change the url to

repo init -u http://git.code.sf.net/p/android-x86/sf-manifest -b marshmallow-x86
repo sync --no-tags --no-clone-bundle

(replace marshmallow-x86 by nougat-x86 if you want 7.0 code)

The branch sf-marshmallow-x86 will be removed later.
Please don't use it anymore.
