Hi all! Today (11-Aug-2010), I tried to do a git Koha clone over http, from the Koha Community's Git repository ("git.koha-community.org"). I'm cloning over http, instead of using the native "git" protocol, because my Koha server (a virtual machine running SUSE Linux - SLES 11) is behind a restrictive firewall. Here's the output of the git clone command that I ran and the resulting error: ---------------------------------------- # git clone http://git.koha-community.org/koha.git kohaclone Initialized empty Git repository in /koha/kohaclone/.git/ fatal: http://git.koha-community.org/koha.git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server? ---------------------------------------- I did a web search for this error, regarding Koha, but I only found one entry in the IRC Koha log (dated 12-May-2010), with the same problem posed by the user with the nickname "jcamins" (Jared Camins-Esakov) and answered by "gmcharlt" (Galen Charlton): ---------------------------------------- http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/2010-05-12 16:16 <jcamins> I inadvertantly tried to clone git.koha-community.org over http, and I got an error: fatal: http://git.koha-community.org/koha.git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server? 16:16 <jcamins> I'm not sure who I should notify about that. [...] 16:28 <gmcharlt> jcamins: I've updated it 16:28 <gmcharlt> clone-over-http shoudl work now ---------------------------------------- I have the proxy configuration set up in this virtual machine and I can browse the web without any problems in it (using, for instance, the "w3m" text web browser). Am I doing something wrong, or is it necessary that someone, like Galen, runs "git update-server-info on the server" again ("server" being the git server running at "git.koha-community.org")? If running again this command on the git server is necessary, would it be possible to run that as a cronjob in that git server, to prevent that this problem happens again (or is that a bad idea, for some reason)? Thanks in advance! :) Cheers, Ricardo Dias Marques lists AT ricmarques DOT net Installation Guide for Installing Koha 3.0.0 on openSUSE 11.0 http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.0.0_on_openSUSE_11.0
