Hi All

I am trying to set-up the KDE development framework and am having problems when the build process tries to get source code from GitHub.

I am following these instructions:https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development#One-time_setup:_your_development_environment

when you get to the point of building the framework; what happens is as follows: -

cclive@fedora kdesrc-build]$ kdesrc-build
Cloning sysadmin-repo-metadata

Building extra-cmake-modules from frameworks (1/372)
Cloning extra-cmake-modules
Source update complete for extra-cmake-modules: 546 files affected.
Compiling... succeeded (after 0 seconds)
Installing.. succeeded (after 1 second)

Building ki18n from frameworks (2/372)
Error updating ki18n, removing from list of packages to build.
> Failed to make initial clone of ki18n
Cloning ki18n
Unable to update ki18n, build canceled.

ki18n didn't build, stopping here.

The log file has the following in it: -
[clive@fedora ki18n]$ cat git-clone.log
# kdesrc-build running: 'git' 'clone' '--recursive' '-b' 'master' '--' 'kde:frameworks/ki18n.git' '/home/clive/kde/src/ki18n'
# from directory: /home/clive/kde/src
Cloning into '/home/clive/kde/src/ki18n'...
error: 6800 bytes of body are still expected
fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet
fatal: early EOF
fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

Running the git command on its own produces a better description of what is happening: -
[clive@fedora ki18n]$ 'git' 'clone' '--recursive' '-b' 'master' '--' 'kde:frameworks/ki18n.git' '/home/clive/kde/src/ki18n'

I have exhausted all the reasons I can think of related to why my machine can't download the files, and conclude that there may be a problem ether with the repository or its files.

Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be geatly appricated

Regards

Clive
