I've been trying to learn more and more about from building. I've went thru all the steps to get Ubuntu set up and when I run the command repo sync -j16 it exits with error: Exited sync due to fetch errors. Any help would be great. I'm running my Ubuntu in a virtual box with 8gb ram and a amd quad core. If that helps any.

What repository are you trying to sync with?

Ive tried googles, cyanogen and kravens and none of them will fully go thru they have all exited with the same error

Try just "repo sync" without -j16.

ive tried that as well i found a post where some one said repo sync -f worked so its running now. ive been trying to get this for almost a week and it kept failing.


well after about 7gb of data download it seems to be stuck its just got a blinking curser and has been that way for about 10 minutes after this line

I think I remember having a similar error when I was poking around (unsuccessfully) with the source. I even had a similar VM setup.

Stop syncing and try deleting everything that you've downloaded (every last bit). Retry the sync and it should go through. From what I remember, I lost my internet connection in the middle of syncing and I kept getting sync errors until I deleted everything and started fresh.

I never found anyone else with a similar error. Hopefully the above helps.

Yep; known error for CM... (not sure why you would be having such an issue with googles repo as it doesn't use github). The CM team has played around with this quite a bit with the Jenkins server trying to resolve their sync/build errors. What they finally landed on was actually the same thing that google did to their repo manifests; they changed the manifest to use the delivery method used to initiate the repo rather than a default assigned in the manifest.

There are known issues:

If you are using an "ancient" version of repo OR you first initialized your repo
with an "ancient" version of repo, then it will cause problems. (Note: I did check
to make sure I had latest version of repo, which I did. However, apparently, my
repo was first initialized with an "ancient" version of repo.)

If you see errors such as:

"fatal: '../CyanogenMod/android.git' does not appear to be a git repository"

then you will need to make sure you have latest version of repo and that
your repo is re-initialized ("from scratch") with it.

Also, it does not work with SSH-based URLs.

To fix:

# get latest repo with:
curl > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

# clear old repo software and manifests:
rm -rf .repo/repo
rm -rf .repo/manifests .repo/manifests.git .repo/manifest.xml

# re-initialize repo (make sure to include "-b branchname"):
# NOTE: It is suggested to use the URL below to init (SSH URLs do not work)
repo init -u -b ics
NOTE: Your git repo blobs should remain intact so you should not have to re-download them.
