[Chih-Wei Huang]

Not an android-x86 issue.

Why do you say it's not an issue?

Hello Chih-Wei Huang,

This is not an android-x86 issue.
But sourceforge issue.

Compare for example:
https://sourceforge.net/p/android-x86/device_generic_x86/ci/marshmallow-x86/tree/

"Read Only access
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/android-x86/device_generic_x86 android-x86-device_generic_x86"
"HTTP access
git clone http://git.code.sf.net/p/android-x86/device_generic_x86 android-x86-device_generic_x86"

With the manifest.

<project path="device/generic/x86" name="device/generic/x86" groups="pdk" remote="x86" revision="marshmallow-x86"/>

AOSP and GitHub follow the correct form:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest/+/refs/heads/android-6.0.1_r31/default.xml.
https://github.com/android/platform_manifest/blob/android-6.0.1_r31/default.xml

But as you can see github does change '/' to '_' on their repository name.

Android-IA from Intel 01.org (Not a recommanded version)
Their manifest convert repository names.
https://github.com/android-ia/platform_manifest/blob/master/default.xml

The last time I was resynching I used the git protocol and not http for sourceforge gits and all passed cleanly.

Not sure what issue you're trying to argue.
What I can say is you just need to follow the instructions
at www.android-x86.org to sync the code. It definitely works.

I set the android-x86 manifest to follow the AOSP convention
(i.e., using "/") on purpose. It needs some tricks on SF.
If you need more info, search the android-x86 list for how this is done.

We should change "/" to "_" in manifest. After I changed that, I don't have problem to sync.
