How to “repo init” on a disconnected system?

up vote 4 down vote favorite 2	I have mirrored a repository with repo init -u <uri of manifest> --mirror repo sync and copied it (by usb) to a system disconnected from the internet along with the repo script and the repo clone bundle repository from https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/clone.bundle. I now want to create new client from the mirror, but when I run the command. repo init -u <uri of manifest on mirror> i get the following error. fatal: Cannot get https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/clone.bundle fatal: error [Errno -2] Name or service not known So I have the clone.bundle but have no way to persuade repo to use it. Any suggestions? repository share edit flag edited Sep 19 '13 at 13:14 asked  Sep 19 '13 at 13:02 OwainD 373 2 13

There is an option, that appears to be totaly undocumented on the internet for repo. It is --repo-url which allows you to overide where repo looks for the latest version of itself. This is what I did: I had the bundle saved in my home as git-repo-clone.bundle repo init -u < uri of manifest on mirror > --repo-url ~/git-repo-clone.bundle I found this out by reading the repo script itself, and thought I would share. share edit flag answered  Sep 19 '13 at 15:34 OwainD 373 2 13
