Failed to recurse into submodule path 'qemu'

[bung69]

Hi,

i am Trying to compile QEMU with nvdimm support.

previously compiled custom versions of PVE QEMU however this time i am having a problem recursivly cloneing the proxmox qemu repo.

when running:

git clone --recursive git://git.proxmox.com/git/pve-qemu.git

does anyone know what i am doing wrong?

thanks

the problem is on the other end, not your machine - one of the (nested) git submodules became unavailable because the repository owner made their account private.. I don't think we actually need that submodule, so you can maybe clone the rest and skip that one?

Thankyou.

turns out pve QEMU seems to support nvdimm out of the box - i just typoed my -arg's

Is there any solution for this issue now?
When I try to git clone git://git.proxmox.com/git/pve-qemu.git with submodules, I run into the problem described by @bung69, as edk2 submodule (https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/edk2.git) refers to non-existing Zeex (https://github.com/Zeex/subhook.git) repo. When I clone edk2 repo manually, the .gitmodule points to correct repo. Is it something I can fix myself when cloning qemu-pve? I don't know if it's problem with submodule dependencies are not updated or I am doing something wrong.

 

[fabian]

yes, just point the submodule at a working mirror

I am building qemu-pve as jenkins job, where jenkins git plugin takes care of fetching all repository dependencies recursively. It relies on submodule paths configured in .gitmodules files, and I can not manually replace invalid submodule path to something new, as whole checkout process seems an atomic operation, where I can not manually edit anything during checkout process.
Will this invalid path eventually be corrected in upstream, so the whole pve-qemu repository can be cloned in one operation again?

 

[fabian]

yeah, it's already fixed upstream so should be fixed in one of the next version imports: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2660

Thank you for clarification.
