Quick fix to get this repo working properly

[Guest t0mm13b]

A quick heads up, head over here to find out how to get your kanged build of CM7 working properly.

For me, the repo script would not work as I would like to create a clean repo as my other is a mess! :D

Will report back to see if this works :)

There's a patch for it now:

There's a patch to use github mirrors here: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,7918

cd to your system/android directory & enter this command

git fetch http://review.cyanogenmod.com/p/CyanogenMod/android refs/changes/18/7918/1 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD

apply that patch & it'll use github, then repo sync will work again. that'll probably only work if you already have the stuff from before kernel.org went down. if you want to download it all again, or if that doesn't work for some reason then you'll need the guide.

Good news - it works if you're doing it from scratch, i.e. a new clean repo :)

Yay! :D

That did not work for me anyway, as am doing a clean fresh repo from scratch! :)

It didn't go especially well. It ran out of space and ubuntu wrecked itself. :|

Take 3 in progress! I'm not giving up. The link works fine btw. Can't fault that.

CM's instructions are pretty vague though for a Windows user. I keep having to google things that don't work properly where steps are skipped int he instructions that are probably obvious to Linux users.
