Excerpts from Max Bolingbroke's message of Tue Aug 02 10:01:44 -0400 2011: > 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.
