git ?

[sam111]

I am trying to download the source code for android.
I am on windows machine with msys, mingw32 installed with git

I have successfully download GNU glibc with git for testing purposes put I am now trying to download the source code for android.

I have found on a website that the repository for android is
located at

git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git

so I tried this and I get

git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git

$ git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git
Cloning into common...
android.git.kernel.org[0: 208.68.143.50]: errno=No such file or directory
fatal: unable to connect a socket (No such file or directory)

Did google move their repository, where is it ?

I went to the android site and the have instructions on how to use repo and git to download. I don't want to have to download repo , since I think repo is just a front end for git so you should beable to download android using just git.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git

kernel.org is down for maintenance, so you'll need to find out where else it may be stored.

Is their any easy way of figuring out where they would have moved it.
Or at least how long it is going to take before it is back online.
Or some alternative method to getting the source?

When kernel.org was compromised, the source files were migrated to github.com.
I'm not sure if Android files are included, but you could take a look.
