No registration is required. === EXPLANATION === Some time ago, the libraries moved from https://github.com/qtproject/ to https://github.com/qt/. So, https://github.com/qtproject/qt5.git now redirects to https://github.com/qt/qt5.git (try it in your web browser). GitHub takes care of the redirection when you clone. However, Qt Network Authorization is a much newer module. It never existed under the old qtproject account, so a redirection doesn't exist. You can go to https://github.com/qt/qtnetworkauth.git, but https://github.com/qtproject/qtnetworkauth.git gives error 404. === SOLUTION === If you edit your the qt5/.git/config file and set remote "origin" to https://github.com/qt/qt5.git, you should be able to run the init-repository script again. (You might need to use the --force option) If all that is too hard, you can also delete everything, clone https://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git (as recommended by the wiki), and run init-repository from scratch. > $ cd qt5 > $ git checkout dev > $ perl init-repository > --module-subset=default,-qtwebkit,-qtwebkit-examples,-qtwebengine > > Error message: > + git clone --no-checkout https://github.com/qtproject/qtnetworkauth.git > qtnetworkauth > Cloning into 'qtnetworkauth'... > Username for 'https://github.com': XXXX > Password for 'https://x...@github.com': > remote: Invalid username or password. > fatal: Authentication failed for > 'https://github.com/qtproject/qtnetworkauth.git/' > git clone --no-checkout https://github.com/qtproject/qtnetworkauth.git > qtnetworkauth exited with status 32768 at init-repository line 198. > Qt::InitRepository::exe('Qt::InitRepository=HASH(0x7f89f2803ff0)', 'git', > 'clone', '--no-checkout', 'https://github.com/qtproject/qtnetworkauth.git', > 'qtnetworkauth') called at init-repository line 534 > Qt::InitRepository::git_clone_one_submodule('Qt::InitRepository=HASH(0x7f89f2803ff0)', > 'qtnetworkauth', 'qtnetworkauth.git', 0) called at init-repository line 407 > Qt::InitRepository::git_clone_all_submodules('Qt::InitRepository=HASH(0x7f89f2803ff0)', > 'qt5', 0, 'preview', 'essential', 'addon', 'deprecated', '-qtwebkit', > '-qtwebkit-examples', ...) called at init-repository line 644 > Qt::InitRepository::run('Qt::InitRepository=HASH(0x7f89f2803ff0)') called at > init-repository line 655 Regards, Sze-Howe _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
