Creating an Android Mirror

Creating an Android Mirror
1. Prerequisites/Assumptions
install repo git

2.Setting up a Git Server
  a.sudo apt-get install git-daemon
  b.change iptables, git-daemon use tcp port 9481
  sudo /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 9481 -j ACCEPT
  c.config /etc/sv/git-daemon/run, to export git trees in "/opt/coderepo"
====================================================
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
echo 'git-daemon starting.'
exec git-daemon --verbose --export-all --base-path=/opt/coderepo /opt/coderepo
====================================================

  restart git-daemon: sudo /etc/init.d/git-daemon retart

  d.git-dameon log file: /var/log/git-daemon/current

3. Using Git Behind a Firewall
install corkscrew
create a new file called "git-proxy.sh" with following contents and replace and
==================================================
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/corkscew $*
==================================================
chmod a+x git-proxy.sh
git config --global core.gitproxy '/git-proxy.sh'

to configure git to only use the proxy for specific URLs
git config --global core.gitproxy '"/git-proxy.sh" for kernel.org' 'for kernel.org$'

4. Create the mirror.
mkdir /opt/coderepo/myandroid
cd /opt/coderepo/myandroid
repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git --mirror
repo sync

5.change manifest.git config, if not , can not push code change
cd /opt/coderepo/myandroid/platform/manifest.git
edit config file, add following lines
[daemon]
  uploadpack=true
  uploadarch=true
  receivepack=true

6. change manifest.git
a.clone manifest.git
cd ~
git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git

b.Edit the file "~/manifest.git/default.xml"
 
 
  - fetch="git://android.git.kernel.org/"
+ fetch="git:///myandroid/"
  review="review.source.android.com" />
    remote="korg" />

c. commit and push this change.
git commit -a
git push git:///myandroid/platform/manifest.git

7. The setup of the mirror is now complete. make a test
cd ~
mkdir testmirror
repo init -u git:///myandroid/platform/manifest.git
repo sync
