Hey Daniel, where is the git mirroring to gitorious done?
Is it a script or something that pushes from the libvirt.org servers, or something that
pulls from gitorious, or something else?
Was thinking of setting up an equivalent for GitHub, as
gitorious has problems with http:// and https:// access.
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
Regards,
Daniel
