git-clone problem

[John Heim]

When I try to download the speakup patches, first it prints lots of messages 
about things it got but after a while I get the following error message:

# git-clone -q http://linux-speakup.org/speakup.git
...
got 607e0c28e1ece0eaf00046d93aeaae5fe49596a7

Help please. My boss would really like me to build a new kernel today.

Hi,
    Just wait a little bit and try it again.  I've had similar error 
messages and they resolved themselves within a relatively short time.
    Also, for the sake of bandwidth, once you have an initial clone I'd 
advise you to git-pull in future to save time.
Best,
Zack.

Well, I guess i'll keep trying. i've already tried several times.

Can i git-pull if I'm building a newer kernel? I had speakup patches for 
2.6.24 but now I'm trying to build a 2.6.25 kernel.

Yes, as far as I know, though I do stand to be corrected as always.

It appears to have worked. I ran git-pull on another machine and that 
finished w/o generating an error message. So then i tarred up the speakup 
directory and untarred it on the target machine. Then I re-ran git-pull and 
it said speakup is up to date. Then I ran the installer and it said 'speakup 
is installed to /usr/src/linux-2.6.25/'.

I guess all that remains to be seen is if i get a tlaking kernel out of it.

Try William Hubbs' speakup mirror at:

git://hubbs.homedns.org/speakup.git


I had similar issues with the linux-speakup.org repository, but William's 
mirror worked fine for me.

This is because you're using git-pull.  Git-pull is for updating an
already-cloned repository.  
You want instead:
git-clone git://hubbs.homedns.org/speakup.git.
Hope this helps,
Zack.

It *was* an already cloned repository.

Even though I had already done that on Wednesday? I was trying to update 
my local copy of the repository.  My understanding was that this was the 
proper method, as you also seem to indicate above, although my knowledge 
of git is quite limited, and so it may be that you mean something else.

So, on Wednesday I ran "git-clone git://hubbs.homedns.org/speakup.git": 
what do I do in order to cause my local version to pickup any changes, if 
git-pull is the wrong utility?

Regards,

Luke

You want to cd into the directory created by that initial git-clone.
It's called speakup.  
Then just do a git-pull, without any arguments.  The git repository to
use is already encoded in the directory and files in it, no need to do
anything else.  It'll update to the latest code.
Hope this helps,
Zack.

Thanks.  The directory was the problem--I was running it from above, 
because I had thought the .git directory had been created one level higher 
than the repository (something while I was cloaning gave me that 
impression).  Tried from the proper cwd, and working fine.
