cloning
-
hello to all i was cloning pfsense source code all redeposits are clone successfully except freeBSD-port any help please!!
-
What OS are you using on your client? The freebsd-ports repository contains files with names which are not compatible with FAT/NTFS/etc on Windows. You will need to use BSD/Linux/Mac/other unix-like OS. It might work in cygwin or the Windows Ubuntu emulation, though, but I haven't tried.

it says this error "Invalid path: japanese/prn" how i can fix it
-
You didn't answer my questions, but based on that error, I'm guessing it's because you're trying to check it out on Windows. As I said, that is not going to work.
-
yep i am using windows but did u think that is the problem any way i will try ur suggestion 10Q for your help
-
Yes, Windows is the problem. Re-read my first reply, I explained the reason why it's a problem there.
-
i try your advice but it makes the same error "Invalid path: japanese/prn" after finishing cloning any help or advice you say will be helpful
-
What exactly did you try?
-
i change my OS
-
yeah good, the forum is not a chat .. you should give more information in one post. which os are you using now? what command line did you run to clone the repo ? from where are you downloading? a screenshot of what's happening could be usefull also

that is still windows / cygwin ? the file system of your OS is not compatible with the repo. you need at least a virtual machine with unix/linux or better freebsd os using something like oracle virtual box or vmware
-
That looks like cygwin or msysgit. It still is limited by the underlying filesystem support. You need something that emulates a non-Windows filesystem and environment.
You can use a completely isolated VM for that, as has been mentioned already, but I just tested using the Windows/Ubuntu integration (Windows Subsystem for Linux (Link 1, Link 2)) and it checked out OK there as well.
