[Buildroot] HTTP access to git repository outdated

[Richard Braun]

Hello,

It looks like git update-server-info isn't run automatically since
getting the repository through http gives a slightly outdated tree.

This is a known problem. Try adding or removing the trailing slash from the 
git repository URL.

This makes no difference on my machine. Is there any intent to fix it at
least ? I personally don't mind the issue too much if it doesn't last.
Others might simply not have a choice.

If you are posting about git.buildroot.net - - -

Then:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot "master" is 4 days old

And:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/ "master" is 30 hours old

Same, same, known problem.

Check your browser after you try each "view" - your browser may
be trying to "help" you by removing the '/' regardless of what
you actually entered.

- - - -

Note: http servers **should** re-direct from /directory to /directory/
but this one does not and it is a "managed" server.
The hosting providers have not been able to find out "why" for
quite some time now.

Peter, can we escalate this further or request once more to investigate this?

'managed' is not really the right word if one is not able to find out
why a slash in a URL makes a difference.

Dear Baruch Siach,

Completely separate issue.

The problem with the http/git difference is that when I push some
changes to the official repository, git update-server-info is not
executed due to some permission issues. So the http side of things only
gets resynced the next time Peter pushes something.

Since I'm the last one to have pushed some stuff.

The last commit available from the http:// repo was pushed by Peter
(f67e7ba06f5f00dc9153ad364932092692458704 package/gutenprint: replaces
-static with -static-libtool-libs).

Best regards,

Thomas

I'll have a look at the permission issue / notify the osuosl guys so
this gets fixed.
