[Buildroot] git clone with http not giving me commits after Jul 6

[Neale Pickett]

I just did a new clone of buildroot with

    git clone http://git.buildroot.net/git/buildroot.git

The most recent commit is dated

    Date:   Fri Jul 6 02:57:33 2012 +0000

In particular, I don't have the 2012.08_rc1 tag.

[Buildroot] git clone with http not giving me commits after Jul 6

Hello Neale,

I use another URL an get all the tags and branches like seen on
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/ .

> carsten at wheezy:~/gitprojects/buildroot [master]$ grep "url"  .git/config 
> 	url = git://git.busybox.net/buildroot

Do you have checked the output of 'git branch -a' and 'git tag -l'?

Regards
Carsten

and now to the ML :)

I'm unable to use the git protocol because it is firewalled out where I
work.

The problem may be that update-server-info has quit running.  This
would explain the behavior I'm observing (git protocol is current, http
protocol is not).  It may also be my company's HTTP proxy, although I'm
doubtful that it has still cached a manifest file from over a month ago.

My remote branches (on origin) are "master" and "next".  Neither has
the 2012.08_rc1 tag, which according to the cgit interface, are on the
"master" branch.

    cfl-science:/home/neale/src/buildroot$ git tag -l | grep -c 2012.08
    0

Hello Neale,

Yes, this is a known issue since I have replaced Peter as the Buildroot
maintainer. When I push, I have a message that tells me "Permission
denied" on the execution of the post-commit hook, which means that the
update-server-info git command is not being executed on the server. We
started investigating this problem with Peter, but then he left for
holidays and the problem remained unresolved.

I'll try to contact the system administrators to see if we can get this
problem fixed. In any case, as soon as Peter comes back as a
maintainer, the problem will be solved.

Best regards,

Thomas

[Buildroot] Workaround: git clone with http not giving me commits after Jul 6

[Neale Pickett]

I heard back that the problem is, in fact, update-server-info not
running on commit.  It is supposed to be resolved soon.

In the meantime, cgit (the git web interface used at busybox.net) also
supports checkout over HTTP.  So you can use this:

    git clone http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/

To fetch the latest over HTTP.  Until the site admins disable it :)
