Err, http:// access works fine with gitorious. I think
you simply didn't wait long enough. GIT's HTTP access
mechanism is seriously inefficient, and doesn't appear
to give you ongoing progress feedback like the git://
protocol, so expect to wait a while. I've verified I
can clone the main GIT repo over http in about 2 minutes
using:
git clone http://git.gitorious.org/libvirt/libvirt.git
Thanks Daniel. Tried http again (first time today) and this
time it worked:
$ time git clone http://git.gitorious.org/libvirt/libvirt.git
Cloning into libvirt...
real 9m57.209s
user 0m11.130s
sys 0m5.670s

~10 mins, but still, at least it worked.
For the gnulib submodule, I'm thinking it might be possible
to use a tarball as a workaround.
Fyodor, are you ok to try something?
If you can grab this tarball (41MB):
http://justinclift.fedorapeople.org/gnulib_commit_2f41af65.tar.bz2
Extract it somewhere (ie /tmp/gnulib), then set the
GNULIB_SRCDIR environment variable to point to it prior to doing
the libvirt pieces.
$ export GNULIB_SRCDIR=/tmp/gnulib
$ git clone http://git.gitorious.org/libvirt/libvirt.git
$ cd libvirt
$ ./autogen.sh
That *might* work. Not for sure, but probably worth trying.
