[U-Boot-Users] broken rsync to U-Boot git archive

[Bryan O'Donoghue]

git clone rsync://source.denx.net/git/u-boot.git somedir
appears to be broken, at least when I tried it just now, I got errors !

I had an archive locally which dereferenced the above rsync path. I did
a cg-update inside of that directory tree and got a similar error. I rm
rf'd the archive assuming I'd made some noobish git/cogito error and
tried the git clone command, as with the cg-update command which wanted
to talk to the rsync above, I got errors like the below.

timeout in data send/receive
connection unexpectedly closed
etc.

rsync --version == 2.6.5
git core == 0.99.4
cogito == 0.13
OS == Ubuntu Breezy Badger Preview Release

http cloning and presumably updating, appears to be working.
Either rsync is broken or I've made an error in synchronising to it.

Possibly I've hosed rsync somehow, as I've compiled git from source
using an earlier version of Ubuntu "Hoary Hedgehog" and have not as yet,
recompiled against my current OS libraries. Possibly that _is_ in fact
the case, but, it would probably be worth the while of others to
confirm/deny this.


Best,
Bryan

I've done a quick test with cg-clone

Greetings.

Indeed both commands appear to be working for me now also.

You might have had just bad luck and tried it in the interval when  a
rsync  of  the  external  server from our internal git repository was
running, leaving the repo in a (temporarily)  inconsistent  state.  A
second attempt 5 minutes later would have probably worked fine...

Best regards,
