How to download eclair sources with repo

Question

hi

ive tried both of the following:

repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b android-2.1

repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b eclair

Both give the same:

Getting repo ...
   from git://android.git.kernel.org/tools/repo.git
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

fyi I tried again at 0700 uk time and worked fine this time $ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b eclair Getting repo ...

etc

Answer 1

It could be a server issue:

FWIW, I was able to work around this by hacking my /etc/hosts to point android.git.kernel.org to the IP address of android2.git.kernel.org.
