I can make a checkout from https://github.org and there exist several repos with the libvirt sources but I don't know if I can safely use them.

Unfortunately I can't use snapshot since I'm using scripted installation procedure. Yes, I can rewrite the script but it is not convenient to me because I want to automate update and compilation of sources and maintaining the patches for the bootstrap script looks painful to me.

Can anyone from the official team create a repo on github server and configure mirroring the sources tree? Of course the best way it to have HTTPS on the official libvirt.org site.

Something seems to be wrong with the gitorius end of things:

 $ git clone git://gitorious.org/libvirt/libvirt.git
 Cloning into libvirt...
 remote: Counting objects: 51387, done.
 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
 fatal: early EOF
 fatal: index-pack failed
 $

Using a browser to go to the http:// URL above from before just gives a "Not Found" error too.  I'll email them and see if they have any idea of what's wrong.
