Until then you can use gitcvs to access the repositories: cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@git.linux-mips.org:/pub/scm/linux.git co -d linux-malta -P Where is one of linux-2.0, linux-2.2, linux-2.4, MaltaRef_2_4, MaltaRef_2_6 and master - if your firewall allows port 2401 that is ... But why are you still using the linux-malta repository? Since ~ 5 months it is no longer being updated and has effectivly been replaced with linux.git repository. Of this repository there are also snapshots of all tagged versions available. Ralf
