git clone alsa-driver behind a firewall?

[John L. Utz III]

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!

johnu

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 :-)
