Unable to clone about visualuefi

[ionescu007]

Hi David,

The current edk2 and openssl branches cannot be compiled from real HEADs. edk2 currently uses a manual process where you manually have to create a patch/diff for the 1.0.2x version of openssl, and they are always scrambling to keep it up to date, especially with the frequent vulnerabilities in OpenSSL. An Intel employee has taken it up upon himself to fix this, by submitting upstream patches to both projects to allow OpenSSL head/master to build natively with EDK2. While those patches are still being integrated, he has provided repositories that he keeps up to date.

I am looking into why Github is failing at submodules. This was not a problem before.

@ionescu007 thanks for an in-depth explanation, was not aware of these things — only started messing around with edk2 a week or so ago!

Mailed Github support regarding cloning issues. For their part they're trying to nail down the OOM problem but as for shell cloning they said it would be best contacting the repo owner about this.

Try cloning the submodule by hand/manually, as in issue #7

This should work now. Thanks for bringing it up to my attention, let me know if you still have problems!

[davidcie]

Thanks for looking into it. Unfortunately it still does not work as expected:

So it looks like openssl is being checked out correctly now, but not edk2? I will check the repo one more time. Submodules appear to be kind of broken if they cause so many issues. Can you try manually checking out edk2?

I have done one more pull/merge.

This issue appears tixed now. Please re-open if you still see it.

Works for me too now. Thanks for looking into it, fingers crossed this will not need to grab your attention anymore and will smoothly work from now on.
