Repo unable to initialize/sync

DieracDelta commented 3 years ago

Am I missing something? When I run:

repo init -u https://github.com/sifive/freedom-u-sdk.git -b 2021.09 -m tools/manifests

I get an error:

fatal: manifest 'manifests/sifive.xml' not available
fatal: manifest 'manifests/sifive.xml' not found

When I try with 2021.10 instead, initialization is successful, but repo sync fails:

fatal: remote error:
  The unauthenticated git protocol on port 9418 is no longer supported.
Please see https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/ for more information.

My repo version is 2.17.3 (Wed, 27 Oct 2021 ...). Advice would be appreciated, thanks! This was working a few months ago.

There was a restructuring between 2021.09 and 2021.10. For 2021.09 you need to run repo init using sifive/meta-sifive. With 2021.10 you need to run repo init using sifive/freedom-u-sdk. The instructions in the README file for each release are correct.

OpenEmbedded is a large collection of random repos maintained by random people. The github error message points at a URL that explains what changed, they deprecated some protocols and old ssh keys. It will likely take OE a while to catch up to the change. Meanwhile you can work around this by forcing use of a protocol that is still supported. If I put this in my ~/.gitconfig file then repo sync works for me.

[url "ssh://git@github.com"]
        insteadOf = https://github.com
        insteadOf = http://github.com
        insteadOf = git://github.com

This assumes you have an ssh key uploaded to your github account. Otherwise, you can try making https the primary protocol rather than ssh.

This worked! Thank you for the quick response.
