Hi GHCers, As far as I can tell, darcs.haskell.org does not use fast HTTP cloning for the GHC git repository. This means that: 1. Cloning the repository over HTTP taking ~7 minutes as opposed to the ~2.5 minutes in which I can get it from GitHub (at similar numbers of kb/s, saturating my home broadband) 2. You can't push over HTTP (might be convenient for those behind restrictive firewalls?)
This *may* also be behind the problem we are having with the GitHub mirroring of the GHC repos where it isn't syncing our latest changes, though we can't say for sure yet. Would it be possible to set this up? It would be benefical even if it's not behind the GitHub problem. Two things are necessary for the setup: 1. Update git to at least v1.6.6 (released January 2010, so hopefully available now?). Currently v1.5.6.5 is installed 2. Configure Apache 2 according to the instructions at http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-http-backend.html Cheers, Max _______________________________________________ Cvs-ghc mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc
