cygwin-ports git access over http?

cygwin-ports git access over http?

[Achim Gratz]

I'm behind a firewall at work that only allows HTTP access through, so
is there a way clone cygwin-ports over HTTP?  If not, is there already a
Git mirror that provides such access?  Besides, even when cloning
without a firewall, I get:

git clone git://cygwin-ports.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/cygwin-ports/cygwin-ports
Cloning into 'cygwin-ports'...
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I can clone the individual projects one by one, though.  Obviously it
would be much nicer if there was a superproject to clone that had those
already added as subprojects...


Regards,
Achim.

I'm afraid not; Sourceforge does not provide that as an option.

Given the ever-increasing number of packages in Ports, just maintaining 
that would take some effort unless I can automate it.

But do you really need *all* of Ports git?

Rats ... and nobody seems to have cloned to repo.or.cz or github yet.

It should be easy enough to take portslist.txt and create the .submodules file
in the superproject.

No.  But then I don't know what I need yet. I might just as well get it all in
one go rather than get a handful of packages, then finding I need another two or
three...  Especially since I would need to clone each package to another public
hosting repository first to even be able to get it.

See https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/16294

You can request a switch to SF 2 for your project rather than waiting
if you wish.  You can see it in action in your account since all
accounts now have the ability to create sub projects.
