Android source sync问题汇总(since 2012)

1. [repo init] fetch address issue: change to fetch="git://Android.git.linaro.org/"
2. something like "remote end hung up unexpectedly"
go to the folder where you made “repo init” some days ago
open .repo/repo/subcmds/sync.py
correct _Fetch function (program will try to sync even without network after this change:-)) – add “while True:” at line 6, “break” at line 9, remove “sys.exit(1)” at line 11.

  def _Fetch(self, projects):
    fetched = set()
    pm = Progress('Fetching projects', len(projects))
    for project in projects:
      pm.update()
      while True:
        if project.Sync_NetworkHalf():
          fetched.add(project.gitdir)
          break
        else:
          print >>sys.stderr, 'error: Cannot fetch %s' % project.name
    pm.end()
    return fetched

Another work around is "repo sync -f"
3.

curl "http://php.webtutor.pl/en/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/repo" >~/bin/repo
repo init -u git://codeaurora.org/platform/manifest.git
repo sync

4.fatal: '../platform/abi/cpp.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
这个问题是由于repo版本太低
可以使用curl http://git-repo.googlecode.com/files/repo-1.18 > ~/bin/repo
5. Network is unreachable
fatal: HTTP request failed
诸如此类的问题，排除自身网络问题后，办法只有一个，重新repo sync，可以自己用一个脚本，fail后自动重新sync。
