Using repo script for non-android products

[Gaurav Negi]

Dear repo experts,

   I am trying to use 'repo'  on a GIT project.

1. That is not android based.

2. That is not Gerrit based, just pure GIT based

3. That uses git protocol for cloning (not ssh)

    git clone git@<server>:<GIT project name>

  e.g.

    git clone g...@gitserver.company.com:GITproject

Can I use repo script for that?

What else I need to change in manifest.xml file? Following manifest.xml is not working. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<manifest>

<remote  name="titan-stage"

           fetch="g...@titan-stage.corp.nutanix.com"

            />

<default revision="refs/heads/master"

         remote="titan-stage"

         sync-j="4" />

  <project path="main"  remote="titan-stage" name="main"  revision="master" />

  <project path="es_main" remote="titan-stage"  name="es_main" revision="master"/>

</manifest>

I use following command to clone individual repo

git clone g...@titan-stage.corp.company.com

Can anyone please suggest what change is needed in manifest.xml. May be the fetch part is not correct with git as protocol. 

Thanks

Yes.

It would help if you were a bit more descriptive than "is not working".
What happens? Do you get an error message? What if you use the --trace
option ("repo --trace init" etc)?

I wonder if Repo might dislike the URL. I'd try
ssh://g...@titan-stage.corp.nutanix.com.

Thanks Magnus for the reply.

Now I am getting this error

Hi Magnus and others,

   I fixed the manifest repo. Now python error is gone.

But following error is coming up.

We are using gitosis for repo protection, this seeor generally comes when repo name is not correct. 

It could be because repo is getting the correct GIT URL.

[gnegi@gnegi-VM2 tmp]$ repo sync

Fetching project es_main

Fetching project main

ERROR:gitosis.serve.main:Repository read access denied

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.

ERROR:gitosis.serve.main:Repository read access denied

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.

All,

    I got some idea, but not sure how to fix it. 

1. I am running command this for repo init

repo init -u g...@titan-stage.corp.company.com:manifest

it creates a .repo directory

2. running "git remote -v" inside .repo/projects/main.git directory, says this.

$ git remote -v

titan-stage g...@titan-stage.corp.nutanix.com:manifest/g...@titan-stage.corp.nutanix.com/main (fetch)

titan-stage g...@titan-stage.corp.nutanix.com:manifest/g...@titan-stage.corp.nutanix.com/main (push)

It should however be 

titan-stage g...@titan-stage.corp.nutanix.com/main (fetch)

titan-stage g...@titan-stage.corp.nutanix.com/main (push)

3. My default.xml is 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<manifest>

<remote  name="titan-stage"

           fetch="g...@titan-stage.corp.company.com"

           />

<default revision="master"

         remote="titan-stage"

                  sync-j="4" />

  <project path="main"   name="main" revision="master" />

  <project path="toolbox"  name="toolbox" revision="master" />

</manifest>

I tried it with

     fetch="ssh://g...@titan-stage.corp.company.com"

It didnot work. 

If anyone has any input, please let me know. 

Thanks
