Re: Nightly Build for Ubuntu

...but the waf script still tries to clone the original git dir and fails, see https://launchpadlibrarian.net/445469670/buildlog.txt.gz

the waf script calls ./tools-for-build/fetch-git-revision.sh

you can look into that file and try to change it so that if the requested revision is available on the git db, then just call git checkout without a git fetch.

you may try to modify the script so that when git fetch fails then it's ignored, while hoping for the best for the upcoming git checkout.
