VIM 5 Download Android Source Code
Introduction
This document mainly introduces how to download the Android source code of VIM 5.
Download from github
1. Create an empty directory to store working files:
$ mkdir -p WORKING_DIRECTORY $ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
2. Run repo init to download the manifest repository first:
$ repo init -u https://github.com/khadas/android_manifest.git -b khadas-vim5-android-16
3. Run repo sync to pull down the Android Source branch:
$ repo sync
Do NOT add the `-j` option when running `repo sync`. The manifest file for this project includes a remote configuration for `gitkhadas` (https://git.khadas.com/) with `sync-j=“1”`. Using `-j` with a higher concurrency value will override this restriction and likely cause sync failures.
The initial sync operation may take an hour or more to complete.
You might need to run above command repeatly if it fails halfway. Or you can try with this script instead:
- sync_helper.sh
repo sync while [ $? = 1 ]; do echo "Sync failed, repeat again:" repo sync done
If needed, press Ctrl+C to quit.
4. Begin a new branch for development:
$ repo start <BRANCH_NAME> --all
