Hi Guys,
I've been trying to clone the source repo for the last few days, using 'git clone' as per the wiki, but it keeps failing with various disconnection errors. The repo is painfully slow (worse than watching paint dry) which probably isn't helping. My connection here is fine.
I got 1.5G of data at one point before it failed but as far as I know, there is no way to restart from a failure. My latest attempt has been running for 9 hours and I've got 107M of data at less than 10KiB/s.
Is the source available from anywhere else other than 'scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde' or has anybody any ideas on how best to proceed?
Cheers,
You've probably noticed the recent announcement - R14.0.2 was released. Although most users can through a new redirector seamlessly install R14.0.2, synchronization to mirrors is still ongoing. That is why the link to the master server is very loaded.
For this reason are less accessible services for which it is required access to the master server - bugzilla, wiki, secure git. If is sufficient for you readonly copy of TDE GIT repository, you can use mirror instead of master server - http://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/. However, there is one complication related to the submodules. If you can wait a moment, I'm working on a small modification of script switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean to make it useful when using it on a mirror of TDE GIT repository.
Hi Slávek,
Thank you very much for the info. I've only just started getting messages from the list again so I'de already started cloning your mirror before I read your comment about the submodules (above). The clone looks like it's almost done (1.5G) so I guess I may as well leave it to finish?
Yes, a read only copy is sufficient, though I intend to look at making a small change to Amarok wrt random play mode.
Regards, Mike.
