Error installing CNTK because of broken git repository

We are using an older version of CNTK. I've installed it many times with success. But most recently the error is 

Submodule 'Source/1BitSGD' (https://git.codeplex.com/cntk1bitsgd) registered for path 'Source/1BitSGD'
Cloning into 'Source/1BitSGD'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://git.codeplex.com/cntk1bitsgd/': The requested URL returned error: 500
Clone of 'https://git.codeplex.com/cntk1bitsgd' into submodule path 'Source/1BitSGD' failed

It looks like the old git repo is no longer there. Has that been repository been removed? And is there a workaround for this?

Solution

  • The 1bit repo is still there. It is just that codeplex is flaky. Try again in a little while.
