nylas-mail: Submodule K2 clone failure

Cloning nylas-mail using

git clone --recursive https://github.com/nylas/nylas-mail.git

leads to the error:

Submodule 'src/K2' (git@github.com:nylas/K2.git) registered for path 'src/K2'
Cloning into 'src/K2'...
ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
fatal: clone of 'git@github.com:nylas/K2.git' into submodule path 'src/K2' failed

This same problem causes an error when running bootstrap:

./script/bootstrap 

{ Error: Command failed: git submodule update --init --recursive
Cloning into 'src/K2'...
ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

We switched to voting on features on GitHub. The Trello board was from a time before GitHub issues had reactions. We’ve moved all of the relevant cards to GitHub now.

@captn3m0 it’s now merged into mainline and not a separate repo. Just clone master and you should be able to build fully from source

@ArchangeGabriel Exaclty, it was buildable on Linux from the former N1 repository. From nylas-mail I couldn’t figure anything out yet that doesn’t require access to private repositories.

And yes, sync-engine is buildable on Linux. Which I did and configured everything and am therefore a bit frustrated to have done for nothing.

Considering the option to use the binary: Even if the self hosted sync-engine could be selected, the in the readme mentioned download links for binary .deb packages are gone.

Weirdly also the in their blog mentioned exciting roadmap for the bright open source future of Nylas is private. If they don’t want to share it, why proudly pointing to it in an open blog?

I assume that this situation is temporary as @grinich said. But then they should mention that clearly, so motivated people don’t waste their time. A temporary disclaimer would be nice.

Anyway, I hope this gets available somehow for Linux soon again.

Watching this thread in reference with issue #3270

Sorry it’s unclear-- that repo will get open sourced when we ship the Linux builds so you can either download the binary from our side our build from scratch.

We are really short staffed right now. If you know anyone looking for a job, send them our way! https://jobs.lever.co/nylas

@grinich The blog at https://blog.nylas.com/nylas-mail-is-now-free-8350d6a1044d#.p6xox8o70 is misleading and disingenuous. Here’s an extract:

Is Nylas Mail open source? Yep! You can find the code on GitHub, and it’s still GPL.

Maybe the front-end client is, but it’s largely useless without an open backend (K2).

pay us? or you can download the limited Mac-only version from our website

will be open sourced soon though!
