Hi,
would it be possible to access the projects hosted in the git repository [1] using the http protocol? E.g. like with git.kernel.org? I know it's a pain, but some people sitting behind a firewall don't have any other option.
Many thanks!
Dirk

It certainly is technically possible. The git-http-backend file allows one to use http and https as transports. Whoever is the admin for the Linaro git repos would need to make some changes to the apache config files for the git repo. See http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-http-backend.html and http://progit.org/2010/03/04/smart-http.html

Hi,
Thanks to Eric Miao and Paul Collins this is now enabled on git.linaro.org and gitweb should now be publishing the http urls too.
Would someone please test and let me know the outcome of that test?
Thanks,
James

Seems not working yet for me:

Could you check your URL? It seems to me that a 'git' is missing? ..org/git/kernel/...?
I tried it and got
temp$ git clone http://git.linaro.org/git/kernel/linux-linaro-2.6.38.git
Initialized empty Git repository in temp/linux-linaro-2.6.38/.git/

I tried some other repositories from git.linaro.org and they seem to clone via http, too.
I got some
error: RPC failed; result=18, HTTP code = 200772)
while cloning and had to restart several times, but this might be related to my firewall. Finally it worked like given above, then.
Many thanks again and best regards
Dirk

Ah, yes. I missed 'git' in the url. As the url for git protocol is git://git.linaro.org/kernel/linux-linaro-2.6.38.git, I thought all I need to do is changing "git://" to "http://".
Thanks for pointing this out.
