Hi,
I had download it (git clone -b edk2-stable201905 https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git),
but update openssl failed by command (git submodule update --init --recursive)
Cloning into 'D:/edk2/CryptoPkg/Library/OpensslLib/openssl/boringssl'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/': Failed to connect to boringssl.googlesource.com port 443: Timed out


I think many chinese people need "Climbing over the Wall" to access 'https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/'.


I am sorry about this but is there any other idea to bypass it?




thanks,
Krishna.

edk2 submodule are from github openssl and berkeley-softfloat-3. If you can access edk2, you can also access them. Why you system redirect github openssl to boringssl?

Argh, no. OpenSSL has boringssl as a git submodule.

edk2/CryptoPkg/Library/OpensslLib/openssl$ cat .gitmodules
[submodule "boringssl"]
        path = boringssl
        url = https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl

I just notice openssl has its own submodule. https://github.com/google/boringssl is the mirror of boringssl.

Can you modify the .gitconfig with the below rule, and try again?

[url "https://github.com/google/boringssl"]
	insteadOf = https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl

That's right, but it shouldn't matter. In edk2, I always use

$ git submodule update --init --force

and I never pass the "--recursive" flag. This is also how I tested the
upgrade to OpenSSL-1.1.1b, before edk2-stable201905 was tagged. The
boringssl sub-sub-module is not needed for edk2's purposes.

We might want to drop "--recursive" from "OpenSSL-HOWTO.txt", instead.

The instructions have spread to many other places (build instructions
in wiki and edk2-platforms Readme.md being two of them).
That's not to say we shouldn't change it, but that we need to go
through and update those places too.

And frankly, if we've accepted the need to support submodules, we
need to document how edk2 interacts with submodules, not how each
individual submodule interacts with edk2 - so the git instructions in
OpenSSL-HOWTO.txt should probably be deleted.

This might be a good topic to bring to the next design meeting.

Presumably the above will be a useful workaround for the original
reporter in the meantime.

Leif

To be clear -- the problem *exists* only because the original reporter
is stuck behind a restrictive firewall. There is nothing *technically*
wrong with the current instructions in "OpenSSL-HOWTO.txt". There is
nothing particular in how "edk2 interacts with submodules". We're
discussing workarounds for a political problem.

At this point in time we are discussing a workaround for a political
problem. But relying on submodules means relinquishing elements of
control and consistency (if github goes down, we're consistently
down).

In this instance, we explicitly don't care about the submodule for
that other project (and I really hope this is the norm) - so we
shouldn't be documenting steps that rely on that additional
submodule existing. Whether its inaccessibility is for political (not
just this one, but "oh, someone told me there was pirated things on
that host"), technical ("server went down") or financial ("where is me
domain, me noggin' noggin' domain, it's all gone for beer and
tobacco") reasons.

(Why yes, I may be going slightly loopy from too much python.)

This is why I am referring to anything other than a central definition
of the relationship between edk2 and its submodules as a workaround. I
am not suggesting any shortcomings in the technical aspect.

Yes; this is why I suggested dropping "--recursive" from the
instructions. As far as I remember, it was meant as a convenience for
users cloning the edk2 repo from zero.

Can you provide an example definition then? I'm having trouble imagining
one.

Or do you have QEMU in mind, as an example? AIUI, the QEMU project has
server-side jobs that continuously mirror all submodule repositories
from their primary locations to the QEMU git server. And then submodule
URLs in the main QEMU tree (the "superproject") point to the mirrored
subprojects on "git.qemu.org". This makes sure all submodules can be
cloned as long as QEMU itself can be cloned.

In edk2, the direct submodules (OpenSSL and SoftFloat) are both on
github, same as edk2 itself. OpenSSL seems to have three submodules,
"pyca-cryptography" (on github), "krb5" (ditto), and "boringssl" (on
"googlesource.com"). "boringssl" has a mirror at
<https://github.com/google/boringssl>, but:

- in order to change the URL in OpenSSL, we'd either have to convince
the OpenSSL developers to reference the github mirror rather than the
central boringssl repo, or we'd have to diverge from OpenSSL upstream in
our submodule (with a commit that updates the URL)

- we *really* don't need boringssl:

  - Readme.md at <https://github.com/google/boringssl> states as much
    up-front ("it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We
    don't recommend that third parties depend upon it")

  - In OpenSSL, the boringssl submodule was introduced in commit
    ab29eca645cd ("Run BoringSSL tests on Travis", 2016-11-24). It looks
    completely useless for superprojects (i.e. for communities that
    don't actively develop OpenSSL itself).

In short I don't see how we can define a uniform / blanket relationship
between edk2 and all of its sub-sub-modules. We could provide a list
that discussed each case separately. And this list could change every
time we moved forward to a new OpenSSL (or other direct submodule) release.

I'm sorry if this is just wild speculation but I really don't understand
what you have in mind, for the definition. Can you please give an example?

Thanks
Laszlo

But we've never actually relied on that behaviour, so it's not so much
convenience as cargo culting.

Laszlo, I think you've misunderstood me somewhere.

What I am saying is:
- We should have a policy (i.e., a section in toplevel Readme.md)
  regarding submodules.
  - That policy *should* include the requirement to not permit
    submodules requiring submodules for our purposes.
  - That policy should include the steps required to get the edk2
    repository to a buildable state.
  - Nothing related to submodules should be documented anywhere else
    in the tree. Sure, OpenSSL-HOWTO.txt can still be there, but
    the section "HOW to Install OpenSSL for UEFI Building" should go.

Regards,

Leif

That's for certain. :)

Got it now. Good idea.

Can you submit one BZ for it? I think CryptoPkg maintain should list the clear usage of openssl.
