Unable to 'git push' to /git/cygwin-packages/*

Unable to 'git push' to /git/cygwin-packages/*

[Mark Geisert]

Hi folks,
I'm getting the error:

fatal: remote error: service not enabled: /git/cygwin-packages/sshfs

when I attempt 'git push' to that repository.  The same happens with all 
the repositories for my packages.  It's been this way for a couple days at 
least.

Have I forgotten some step in the connection at my end?  I'm running 
ssh-agent.
Thanks for any advice,

This is probably due to some recent changes made on sourceware. 
Apologies for the inconvenience.

What is the repository URL you are trying to push to (git remote -v)?

/usr/src/upstaging/sshfs git remote -v
origin 	git://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/sshfs (fetch)
origin 	git://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/sshfs (push)

and likewise for packages cygfuse, util-linux, inkscape.
Thanks much, Jon!

I forget to ask when was the last time this worked for you, so maybe 
assuming this is related is premature.

This maybe looks like pilot error.

We don't allow pushing using the git:// protocol (since this protocol 
doesn't do any authorization, pushes with a it are very rarely enabled)


I suggest you need to do

   git push ssh://cygwin@cygwin.com:git/cygwin-packages/sshfs

to push successfully.

If that works, I suggest you memorialize that by doing

   git remote set-url origin --push 
ssh://cygwin@cygwin.com:git/cygwin-packages/sshfs

which will cause git to automatically use the ssh URL with a simple 'git 
push'.



You might like to review the last time we discussed this at [1]

(Note that's slightly different, as to push to cygwin-apps repositories 
you must present the key as yourusername@cygwin.com, whereas for 
cygwin-packages repositories, you can present the key as 
cygwin@cygwin.com. There are just different due to historical reasons.)

You may also want to use https:// rather than git:// for reading
the repository these days, given the insecurity of the git protocol.

With a minor correction ("/git" instead of "git" in the URL) this works 
fine.  I've made the git config change for all my projects.

Right. I now remember this recommendation too. I will make the change in 
all the git configs for my projects.
Thanks much,

Oops. Yes. Of course that's right, my mistake.

Glad to hear that things are working again for you!
