I am on my second attempt of following the instructions at building the system <http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html>. I have set up a Linux, Ubuntu 10.0.04 build environment as recommended and have spent hours upon hours trying to figure out how to download a copy of the Android source as e.g. found at kernel/common <https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/>, or any other path in android <https://android.googlesource.com/?format=HTML>. I have zero experience with git other than a cursory read of http://source.android.com/source/git-resources.html, and at this point, I don't plan on contributing just yet anyway.
My intentions are 1. download the Android source files 2. build the source files. My repo directory is ~/.repo. After I run repo sync (as described<http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html>), and run a find -name "*aosp*" on ~/.repo, I see many *directory *results e.g. /projects/external/tagsoup.git/refs/remotes/aosp/gingerbread, /media/sdb/.repo/projects/bootable/bootloader/legacy.git/refs/remotes/aosp/gingerbread /media/sdb/.repo/projects/cts.git/logs/refs/remotes/aosp/gingerbread /media/sdb/.repo/projects/cts.git/refs/remotes/aosp/gingerbread /media/sdb/.repo/projects/hardware/qcom/gps.git/logs/refs/remotes/aosp/gingerbread /media/sdb/.repo/projects/hardware/qcom/gps.git/refs/remotes/aosp/gingerbread /media/sdb/.repo/projects/hardware/qcom/media.git/logs/refs/remotes/aosp/gingerbread /media/sdb/.repo/projects/hardware/qcom/media.git/refs/remotes/aosp/gingerbread /media/sdb/.repo/projects/hardware/ril.git/logs/refs/remotes/aosp/gingerbread /media/sdb/.repo/projects/hardware/ril.git/refs/remotes/aosp/gingerbread /media/sdb/.repo/projects/hardware/msm7k.git/logs/refs/remotes/aosp/gingerbread /media/sdb/.repo/projects/hardware/msm7k.git/refs/remotes/aosp/gingerbread /media/sdb/.repo/projects/hardware/libhardware_legacy.git/logs/refs/remotes/aosp/g but no *files*. So if I run a "find -name "*.c" on ~/.repo, no "*.c" files show up. I attempted a git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common but all I got was .pack files in the download, which I tried extracting with git-unpack-objects<http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-unpack-objects.html>, but no ".c" files came out of that, either. Any help with figuring the missing steps here, to either A. get the source files (e.g. "*c", *.h, *.mk, ...) files out of the git clone <https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common> .pack files. or ideally, how to B. what I need to have repo sync (e.g. any additional configuration?) download the source into my .repo directory.
