Can't install v2.6.x toolchain because the git clone of nrf-sdk repo fails.

[Wayne]

tl;dr: The clone would probably work more reliably if the nrf-toolchain-manager added the --depth 1 option, e.g.:  git clone --branch v2.6.1 https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf --depth 1

I think GitHub is at fault and I'm on a mobile data connection. 

I'm obviously assuming such a shallow clone is ok and that this can be ultimately passed down to west?

(Version info at the bottom in the log)

EDIT:  I enabled git logging and have attached the 'git clone' logfiles.

export GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1
export GIT_TRACE=1
export GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1

Running the erroring command (as shown in the toolchain manager verbose logging) in a shell manually:

It just worked, same exact setup here, I guess GitHub is easy like Sunday mornings. 

[Håkon Alseth]

I'll pass the shallow clone / depth switch along to the toolchain team.

Sounds like there was some network troubles over the weekend. Glad to hear that you got it running in the end.

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

Great, thank you.
