There is an http mirror of libvirt.git at http://repo.or.cz/w/libvirt.git, which lags upstream by less than a day: git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/libvirt.git For submitting patches, it is still possible to hook up 'git send-email' to go through your company mail (although it may be rather interesting to research what all it will take). Even if you can't figure out how to get 'git send-email' working at your employment, at least using 'git format-patch' against the latest development tree is better than developing commits against a release tarball. Or you can use the distributed nature of git in your favor, along with the existence of sites like repo.or.cz that allow you to create clone repos that allow http push. If you do an http push from your work to your own repo.or.cz clone, then later pull from that repo and use git send-email from your personal account when you are no longer firewalled, then you can avoid the restrictions while still minimizing the time spent outside of work in dealing with the patch submissions. -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
