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.
Oops, yes. I didn't read the bug, sorry. I jumped to conclusions after seeing Vishal and Bero's emails appeared at about the same time.
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?)
I didn't raise a bug as I had a workaround and I assumed if it was a widespread problem then it would get sorted out eventually.
The situation known to me is:
- 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://.
If my memory serves me right, it wasn't long after this I noticed my problems, which is why it occurred to me to change the URLs in the manifests back to the old git:// (They'll get restored to http when the manifests are changed, which is why I notice it as a continuing problem.)
I perhaps only do a repo sync a couple of times a month as I don't really work much on Android, which is perhaps why a) I see this problem? b) I've not been motivated to get to the bottom of it.
