related to local mirroring of android repo

[amit joshi]

Hi 

I am setting up a local mirror for android repository from aosp. I have create a mirror in my /home/amit/aosp-mirror by following command. 

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest.git -b android-4.4.2_r1 --mirror

After that I have initialized the other directory /home/amit/aosp-master by following command(this is for KK branch)

/repo init -u /home/efi/aosp-mirror/platform/manifest.git -b android-4.4.2_r1

I have read here in several discussion about this and till now it is fine. I have to finally set up a local git server but I am trying to have hands on my client machine itself before going for local git server. Now my problem is if I have to add new project then how will i do that. Say I am adding new directory uboot then how will i add that to main.

Can you guys please help me in this regard. 

Thanks

Amit

Okay, but for local mirrors you'll typically want to use the mirror
manifest (and not specify a -b option).

Add the git to the manifest file, .repo/manifests/default.xml, commit,
and push to a branch on your server. Since you don't want to modify the
branches that you sync from upstream you need to figure out a branching
strategy for your local mirror. The following StackOverflow answer might
not be that useful in itself but contains a number of links to other
questions on this topic. Figuring out how to do this is only partially
related to Repo/Gerrit.

Thanks a lot Mangnus.

I have one more question though there is some mention about it in those posts. I don't want to bring all the branch while mirroring aosp. I am interested in only android-4.4.2_r1. I know I can mirror in this way but I am not sure I will be able to build it and if I will face any issue.

Thanks

Amit

If you're able to sync a full 4.4.2 workspace you're good to go.
The build process has no knowledge of what other branches you have
in each git.
