Subject: GRUB GIT Slowness - Savannah New Paths for RO Clones?
Date: Sun, 7 Sep 2025 20:03:43 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+04=DbR5kPWe0uos0p_t_6QdKqmdLn4rOxAVouiZED0jmK5NQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

Today at one point, while trying to clone GRUB GIT as well as GNULIB
GIT (from bootstrap) I was getting some very slow performance.

I stumbled upon a post from Savannah Users: "CGIT and GITWEB mirrors activated":
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-users/2025-05/msg00002.html

It indicates some new links (for read-only clones perhaps), which gave
me significantly improved clone performance... for GRUB it was:
https://https.git.savannah.gnu.org/git/grub.git
(cgit link: https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git)

I assume for GNULIB it would be:
https://https.git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git

Should the instructions here: https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=grub
be updated to point to the new link? Also, we could think about
updating the bootstrap clone URL default for GNULIB.

Ironically, I see an update was just made less than two hours ago to
GNULIB's version of bootstrap to make this change:
https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=153f0b7003c23a8138253dc420a4c7a7d682a2fa

Please let me know if you'd like me to submit a patch for the GRUB
docs... I don't have the ability to change the website content though,
I assume that'd be Daniel?


Thanks,
Andrew
