[alsa-devel] git clone alsa-driver behind a firewall?
Hi guys;
I am trying to re-sync so that i can try to get my vt1618 stuff into alsa that got rejected last year.
But since my last attempted patch, alsa's moved from hg to git and i cant seem to clone the repository.
jutz@jutz-gnto64 ~/Compile/AlsaDev $ git clone git://git.alsa-project.org/alsa-driver.git alsa-driver Initialized empty Git repository in /home/jutz/Compile/AlsaDev/alsa-driver/.git/ git.alsa-project.org[0: 212.20.107.51]: errno=Connection timed out fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out) fetch-pack from 'git://git.alsa-project.org/alsa-driver.git' failed.
am i correct in assuming that git runs on a port that a diligent admin would not have open by default?
tnx!

Yes. 9418/tcp. But you could use the http interface:
git clone http://git.alsa-project.org/http/alsa-driver.git alsa-driver

that works, it might be good to update the git page to list that mechanism more explicitly:
git clone http://git.alsa-project.org/http/alsa-driver.git alsa-driver

It's already at:
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/GIT_Server
The HTTP URL is fairly at the top and under "Occasional Developers" the clone is spelled out (note though that if you can make requests of your admin, native GIT protocol usage is better/more economic).

right, and this is a nit, but it's a worthwile nit because i had to ask, it should say:
git clone http://git.alsa-project.org/http/alsa-driver.git alsa-driver
instead of just:
http://git.alsa-project.org/http/alsa-driver.git alsa-driver
because it's inconsistent with how the 'proper' mechanism is listed on the website, worse yet, when you click on the url you get a perfectly reasonable web page that would lead you to conclude that http access is meant to be done 'by hand'.
not a big deal, but it seemed like a good UX/QA thing to mention...
tnx for your consideration in any case!

Watch it because I'll now keep nitting you right back... as said, it does say that, under "Occasional Developers". Sure, maybe it might've done the same the first time those URLs are mentioned but hey, if you're not an occasional developper you know already and if you are, you were looking at the wrong part of the page :-)
