Windows/Cygwin - repo init fails

[Kaj Kandler]

Hi,
I followed the instructions on https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/opensource/download
to initialize the Repo

repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git

It fails with:
kkandler@xxx00498 /cygdrive/c/Workspaces/Android/source
$ repo init -u git://androit.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
warning: gpg (GnuPG) is not available.

Environment is Cygwin on Windows XP and Python 2.5.1-2

What happens here?

Hmm, so here it actually connects and starts to download...

And then promptly fails to connect because android.git.kernel.org doesn't exist.  ?

It never should have gotten this far if the network connection failed earlier with a DNS error.  Looks like we didn't catch the error and kept right on going.  Which is a minor bug in repo.  Your problem is the DNS error earlier; not being able to find android.git.kernel.org.

Oh I see, typo androit instead of android.

Gee.

Did it work after that?  I don't think we have a success report on cygwin yet.
