Android原生态下载错误解决方法

Android ICS 官方的下载地址是：http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html，用repo进行同步，具体的可以直接看链接，但是目前总会出现类似下面的错误：

1. Exception in thread Thread-3: 
2. Traceback (most recent call last): 
3.   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 532, in __bootstrap_inner

该错误看上去很奇怪，感觉像是python的问题，但是已经按照网上要求装了，最后报time out，qing yu建议换个时间段下下看，但是尝试过了很多次都无果，最后又看了下官方的文档介绍，发现有下面一句话：

Using authentication

By default, access to the Android source code is anonymous. To protect the servers against excessive usage, each IP address is associated with a quota.

When sharing an IP address with other users (e.g. when accessing the source repositories from beyond a NAT firewall), the quotas can trigger even for regular usage patterns (e.g. if many users sync new clients from the same IP address within a short period).

In that case, it is possible to use authenticated access, which then uses a separate quota for each user, regardless of the IP address.

The first step is to create a password from the password generator and to save it in ~/.netrc according to the instructions on that page.

The second step is to force authenticated access, by using the following manifest URI: https://android.googlesource.com/a/platform/manifest. Notice how the /a/ directory prefix triggers mandatory authentication. You can convert an existing client to use mandatory authentication with the following command:

$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/a/platform/manifest

意思大体是：因为访问基本是匿名的，为了防止连接过多，对同一IP地址的连接数做了一定的限制。看来是用gmail帐号进行认证。

(*)因此，首先登录https://android.googlesource.com/new-password，使用gmail账户登录，然后点击网页上的“允许访问”，得到类似下面的信息：

[plain] view plaincopy
1. machine android.googlesource.com login git-<userName>.gmail.com password <password> 
2. machine android-review.googlesource.com login git-<userName>.gmail.com password <password> 
 

把上面那段信息（<userName>和<password>用自己得到的真实信息）追加到~/.netrc文件结尾；

(**)再下载地址的URL更改为https://android.googlesource.com/a/platform/manifest，（中间加上了“/a”）。

后面按照官方的步骤就可以拉代码了。

在此附上官方的方法：

1、
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH

2、
$ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

3、
$ mkdir WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY

4、
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.4_r1.2  （注意：参考上面的(*)和(**)）

5、
$ repo sync
