Re: [Gumstix-users] Can't Build System Checkout for Gumstix

I had problems with the same procedure last night, although I got a bit
further.  Did the last step to do the bitbake and got an error.  I think
that the data on the server may be corrupted.

Subject: [Gumstix-users] Can't Build System Checkout for Gumstix

 

Good day,

I am trying to build a system checkout as listed from this link:
http://gumstix.org/software-development/open-embedded/61-using-the-open-
embedded-build-system.html but while applying "Then we will install the
OE metatdata, and check out the Overo branch (you can safely ignore the
warnings you will get from the git commands):" , git clone
git://gitorious.org/gumstix-oe/mainline.git org.openembedded.dev failed
to connect then I tried: git clone
https://git.gitorious.org/gumstix-oe/mainline.git org.openembedded.dev"
that got connected whit a warning saying: "remote HEAD refers to
nonexistent ref, unable to checkout".

the directory "org.openembedded.dev" has been created but empty!! I am
not able to follow other instructions (e.g git checkout etc)
successfully. However, git clone
http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git org.openembedded.dev
connected perfectly and did clone successfully.

I am kind of confused on which procedure to follow. 

Yous assistance will be appreciated,
Gutembert.
