[U-Boot] Problem of git clone with http

[Jaehoon Chung]

Hi all,

I have fetched the u-boot/master with http, not git.
url = http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git

When i saw the gitweb, it seems that v2016.03 was released..
But i can't pull and fetch anything with http..

$ git pull
Already up-to-date.

$ git show origin/master

this issue is known, I reported it to our network admin a while
ago but it hasn't been resolved yet, sorry.

for now please try cloning from U-Boot git repo on github:

  https://github.com/trini/u-boot.git

Thanks,

I was just banging my head not being able to fetch the latest U-Boot
stuff, running into the same issue, and successfully worked around it by
using the git:// URL. However it wasn't until I wanted to post about
this on this mailing list that I found this thread :)

Anyways it seems like this issue already persists for one month without
a fix. For folks behind draconian corporate firewalls the http:// URLs
are often easier to use, so this is a bit of a trap....

Note that "http://github.com/trini/u-boot.git" should work as well.  Or
at least I was able to kick off a clone that way locally but I don't
know if it's being rewritten under the hood to https.

Agreed.  But the first step of getting something fixed is to report it
to the responsible admins, or here on the list.  I never use HTTP
myself to access the repository, as git protocol is so much more
efficient.  So unless somebody shouts about it, I will never notice
any such problems.

I've tweaked things a bit - can you please give it another try?  If
you still see problems (either now or later) please make sure to
report them to me, and I will make sure someone looks into it.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Hallo Wolfgang,
I just did a fresh git clone http://git.denx.de/u-boot.git into a new
directory just to verify the current behavior and I can confirm that it
now works as expected. Thanks!

Andreas

This seems to be a widespread thing. It is definitely caused by buggy Cisco
firewalls corrupting binary files. I had the same problem in corporate
environment (where I have my day job right now) 100% traced to their proxy
servers. All traffic is going through some Cisco proxies (don't know what
devices/software it is) and it was impossible to clone a git repo because
data was corrupted when going through those buggy things.

In my case, as I'm more like a principal engineer here, corporate IT made a
hole for my development machines so they go to the Net directly. That solved
the issue.

Before that cloning always failed when uncompressing objects. That also
applied to _ANY_ compressed files downloaded from the Net if those were
big enough. Smaller files were OK and small git repos didn't have any
problems but when they were bigger than some threshold all such files
arrived corrupted.

In my case since I partially work off-site (enjoying unrestricted
Internet access during those times), the issue also occurred without any
type of firewall in-between (well, except my little home office router).
So it seems like there are several things that can go wrong, of course
corporate firewalls like you pointed out often being a major culprit.

I cannot comment on this.  In our case the cause was a different one.
