Android builds are failing in repo init phase. I have opened a bug for the same: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1181907
repo init and sync worked for me locally. Can someone please have a look.
I get several errors like this, with various repos... error: Unable to find 51bd0a1525c7a722ad64a8954d90c6df0b8546a7 under http://android.git.linaro.org/git-ro/platform/ndk Cannot obtain needed blob 51bd0a1525c7a722ad64a8954d90c6df0b8546a7 while processing commit 7b3bda5d569a69c4f9b87225c5d21da4a41bf12e. error: Fetch failed.
This is different issue from one report by Vishal.
As I said in reply to bero's mail, I always seem to get these since the move to http URLs
Move to HTTP happened last couple of days during LCA13 in Hong Kong, do you want to say that you experienced the error as quoted above since then? Was it reported to some bug/ticket? (Do you have a reference?)
The situation known to me is:
1. After flipping the switch in HK, git:// became unstable (because it was throttled to stop wasting resources as it always did). It took some time to migrate everyone to http://. 2. http:// was stable since then, until migration of git.linaro.org happened weekened May 11. 3. Immediately after migration, there were issues with http://git.linaro.org which manifested pretty much like the error above. It was resolved Mon/Tue last week. 4. Friday GMT evening, android.git.linaro.org was migrated to new setup. Initial builds seem to have gone ok. Detailed status is not known (your telling that error above was received after May 17, 17:00GMT would help). 5. Additionally, today issue reported by Vishal popped up.
All in all, git issues now should be cc: to its@linaro.org (added), ITS guys are now the owners of new infrastructure, and can resolve issues pretty well (p.3 was resolved by them).
and I work around it by changing the manifest to have the old git URLs.
This may work as a personal workaround, but won't scale to official manifests - we need to get http:// working right.
