I'm not sure that it is set up for cloning over http I have always cloned over git:// Does your firewall block you from cloning over git:// ? Chris
Hi Chris, two of our customers have the git port blocked on their firewalls. And it is hard for them to get firewall configurations changed quickly. I am sure it will help a lot of people if cloning were possible on port 80. Thanks, Savitra Sirohi, Nucsoft OSS Labs http://www.osslabs.biz On 9/3/09, Chris Cormack <chris@bigballofwax.co.nz> wrote:

I have always cloned over git://
Does your firewall block you from cloning over git:// ?

Hi I am afraid it is not possible to change that right away. Maybe you could add a tunnel on one of your servers to proxy git protocol over 80. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT

Another option is to clone from here http://repo.or.cz/w/koha.git It is a mirror and allows cloning over http Chris
Or you should setup your own gitweb, git clone Koha using git protocol as normal, then clone on client's system via HTTP to your repo. HTTP is exceedingly less efficient than the git protocol, so it is not that strange to see it disabled. --Joe On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 1:08 AM, savitra sirohi <savitra.sirohi@osslabs.biz>wrote:
