Hi all,
I've gotten multiple complaints at GUADEC that it's not possible to
clone GNOME modules because the university network is blocking the git
protocol. This is particularly common at universities in third-world
countries, where it's common for newcomers to complain about this, but
seems it happens in Europe too. So I have changed JHBuild to clone
stuff using https:// rather than git://. I'm testing this now and will
push as soon as I'm sure I haven't broken anything.
Caveats:
* I have not updated all of gnome-world, so contributions are welcome
there as usual. But all the supported 3.26 modulesets should now be
completely fixed.
* Some modules clone git:// submodules. Please be on the lookout for
these. For example, this is .gitmodules in gnome-online-accounts:
# Bad
[submodule "telepathy-account-widgets"]
path = telepathy-account-widgets
url = git://git.gnome.org/telepathy-account-widgets.git
It's better to clone using the same protocol as the parent project:
# Good
[submodule "telepathy-account-widgets"]
path = telepathy-account-widgets
url = ../telepathy-account-widgets.git
I'll leave it to module maintainers to fix these.
Thanks,
Michael
