storm-contrib masters: I still cannot pull down the contrib sub projects.
After much research, I saw a post (https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm-contrib/issues/29) that seemed to advise non-commiters (like me) to convert the .gitmodules file into .gitmodules.ssh and .gitmodules.anon (and eliminate .gitmodules). So I copied the .gitmodules file to .gitmodules.ssh and changed the URL entries to reference the https location. Then I copied .gitmodules.ssh to .gitmodules.anon Here is a sample from .gitmodules.ssh : [submodule "storm-backport"] path = storm-backport url = https://github.com/stormprocessor/storm-backport.git I have stored these files outside of the repo so that I could add them to the repo after cloning. Here is what happens: 1. Clone the repo Scotts-MacBook-Air:git scottccote$ git clone https://github.com/nathanmarz/storm-contrib.git Cloning into 'storm-contrib'... remote: Reusing existing pack: 2295, done. remote: Total 2295 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) Receiving objects: 100% (2295/2295), 456.85 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (707/707), done. Checking connectivity... done. 2. Copy the .ssh and .anon files into the storm-contrib repo folder and move the original .submodules file out of the way and then move into the directory Scotts-MacBook-Air:git scottccote$ rm storm-contrib/.gitmodules Scotts-MacBook-Air:git scottccote$ cp storm-contrib.gitmodules.anon storm-contrib/.gitmodules.anon Scotts-MacBook-Air:git scottccote$ cp storm-contrib.gitmodules.ssh storm-contrib/.gitmodules.ssh Scotts-MacBook-Air:git scottccote$ cd storm-contrib 3. Now initialize the submodules Scotts-MacBook-Air:storm-contrib scottccote$ git submodule init No submodule mapping found in .gitmodules for path 'storm-backport' 4. Now scratch head . What am I missing here? Earlier I stated that I was unable to pull down submodules. Since then, I was able to pull down the storm-kafka from the storm-kafka-0.8-plus repo and have been able to standup a kafka-storm sample so thank you to Kiran for directing me to that repo. Thanks in advance. SCott
