Android - repo sync fails with fatal: Unable to look up android.git.kernel.org (port 9418) (Name or service not known)

repo sync fails with the following message:

$ repo sync
fatal: Unable to look up android.git.kernel.org (port 9418) (Name or service not known)
fatal: Unable to look up android.git.kernel.org (port 9418) (Name or service not known)
error: Cannot fetch repo

It seems that kernel.org has been hacked, so this is what is causing the issue. Is there开发者_StackOverflow社区 a workaround to resolve this issue and not to completely switch to different Android repository (such as those on github, etc)?

All of the code is now in github at http://www.github.com/android. I don't believe Google has made the necessary changes to the manifest (or the repo tool itself, which has a hardcoded URL to kernel.org) to pull from there easily. You could probably make it work with some hacking around.
