Hi Yeah. It looks like a server problem. It got it resolved. Thanks... Now I am running in to other issues while following the wiki @ https://wiki.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/wiki/index.php/AndroidVirt:Guides:Development_Environment *Problem I - Not able to checkout android-goldfish-2.6.27-kvm* 1. I cloned the five repositories linux-android-common, linux-android-msm, linux-guest, linux-kvm-arm and qemu. I cloned them like 'git clone git:// git.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/pub/git/linux-android-common.git'. Basically I am doing an anonymous clone as I dont my ssh-key setup in the server. 2. After cloning all the five repos, when I executed the following I ran in to error from git. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ cd linux-android-common $ git checkout -b android-goldfish-2.6.27-kvm --track ncl/android-goldfish-2.6.27-kvm fatal: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching branches. Did you intend to checkout 'ncl/android-goldfish-2.6.27-kvm' which can not be resolved as commit? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know that I did not use -o ncl while cloning the repo 'linux-android-common'. I dont know how to get the above step correct. *Problem II- Not able to clone 'android-extra'* 1. Since I could not checkout the branch android-goldfish-2.6.27-kvm in 'linux-android-common' folder, I went to the git web repo of 'linux-android-common' and went to the fix where changes for 'android-goldfish-2.6.27-kvm' were made and merged ( http://git.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/git/?p=linux-android-common.git;a=commit;h=1ac012fee91c89594c29c79ce9e9c3b74077f35a) and took the snapshot and made sure it has the code changes by verifying from the diffs. 2. With the above step I went ahead with the wiki. But then I could not do anonymous clone of the 'android-extra.git' repository. When I tried to do that this is the error I got ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- root at ubuntu:/media/new_partition/android_kvm# git clone git:// git.ncl.cs.columbia.edu/pub/git/android-extra.git Initialized empty Git repository in /media/new_partition/android_kvm/android-extra/.git/ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How can I do an anonymous clone of 'android-extra' ? Do I need my ssh-key in the server to get that so that I can clone using my username ? It would be great if someone can tell me the steps for cloning anonymously n setting up by overcoming these problems.
