Document how to install the CACert certificate


Replicant source code

Browsing the source code

The Replicant source code is currently hosted by the FSF at: https://git.replicant.us/

There is one branch per Replicant version, such as replicant-2.2.

Disk space

Before downloading the Replicant source code, make sure there is a considerable amount of disk space left on the drive you intent to build Replicant on.
It is advised to have 40-50GiB available for the Replicant source code and the produced files.

Source tree root folder

The path to the source tree root folder must not contain spaces.

Installing the tools

Then, download the repo tool and set it executable:

mkdir tools
cd tools
wget http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo
chmod a+x repo
cd ../

Initializing the repository

The source manifest is the list of all the git repositories that are present in the Replicant tree.
Each Replicant version has a dedicated branch with the proper source manifest.

In case errors such as server certificate verification failed happen, installing the CACert certificate may help:

mkdir /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/cacert.org
wget -P /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/cacert.org http://www.cacert.org/certs/root.crt http://www.cacert.org/certs/class3.crt
update-ca-certificates

Replicant 4.2

mkdir replicant-4.2
cd replicant-4.2
../tools/repo init -u https://git.replicant.us/replicant/manifest.git -b replicant-4.2

Replicant 4.0

mkdir replicant-4.0
cd replicant-4.0
../tools/repo init -u https://git.replicant.us/replicant/manifest.git -b replicant-4.0

Replicant 2.3

mkdir replicant-2.3
cd replicant-2.3
../tools/repo init -u https://git.replicant.us/replicant/manifest.git -b replicant-2.3

Replicant 2.2

mkdir replicant-2.2
cd replicant-2.2
../tools/repo init -u https://git.replicant.us/replicant/manifest.git -b replicant-2.2

Downloading/Updating the source code

Now that you have configured repo, you can start downloading Replicant sources for the desired version.

This step is very long and can take hours to complete!

../tools/repo sync

Once the source code is ready, you need to get the prebuilt applications (they are downloaded from F-Droid):

vendor/replicant/get-prebuilts

You must redo these steps each time you want to sync your tree, in order to keep it up to date. Future syncs are faster than the first one.
