Revision 30 (Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli, 11/05/2016 10:59 PM) → Revision 31/51 (Wolfgang Wiedmeyer, 03/05/2017 05:23 PM)

h1. Replicant source code 

 

 h2. Browsing the source code 

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

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

 

 h2. 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. 

 h2. Source tree root folder 

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

 h2. Installing the tools 

 Then, download the @repo@ tool and set it executable: 

 <pre> 
 mkdir tools 
 cd tools 
 wget https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo 
 chmod a+x repo 
 cd ../ 
 </pre> 

 h2. 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: 
 <pre> 
 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 
 </pre> 

 h3. Replicant 4.2 

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

 h3. Replicant 4.0 

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

 h3. Replicant 2.3 

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

 h3. Replicant 2.2 

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

 h2. 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!* 

 <pre> 
 ../tools/repo sync 
 </pre> 

 Once the source code is ready, you need to get the prebuilt applications (they are downloaded from F-Droid): 
 <pre> 
 vendor/replicant/get-prebuilts 
 </pre> 

 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.
