Question: is git://git.netfilter.org/* down or have the git repos been moved?

Hi all,

Is git://git.netfilter.org permanently closed down or have these git repos been migrated to some other location?

I have been trying for a while to clone the following git repos without success:
git://git.netfilter.org/libnetfilter_log
git://git.netfilter.org/libnetfilter_queue
git://git.netfilter.org/libnftnl

Example:
$ git clone git://git.netfilter.org/libnetfilter_log
Cloning into 'libnetfilter_log'...
fatal: unable to connect to git.netfilter.org:
git.netfilter.org[0: 92.243.22.118]: errno=Connection timed out
git.netfilter.org[1: 2001:4b98:dc0:45:216:3eff:fe94:c030]: errno=Network is unreachable

I am trying to setup local mirrors of these repos since they are used as SRC_URIs by their yocto recipes and I want to use the local mirrors for our builds and only fetch the new commits from upstream once per day when/if the source repos gets updated.

For what it is worth, the https:// scheme works for fetching. 

git clone https://git.netfilter.org/libnetfilter_log

Yes, this is preferred.

git over tcp/9148 has been restored now, but it might be disabled soon.
