Replicant source code fetch errors
Added by Paul Kocialkowski about 10 years ago
Apparently, Gitorious decided to disable the git protocol on their servers, so the Replicant source code won't fetch, with errors such as:
fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
I switched the Gitorious repos to https, but it still doesn't work for some reason.
Since we're going to have to move some place else soon and I don't see any easy solution, I suppose the situation will remain what it is until we move the source code. Suggestions to solve this are welcome though.

This is the first thing I've found about Gitorious -> GitLab migration:

But it don't have to be GitLab. There are some alternatives, like this one:
Gogs: http://gogs.io/
with a pretty good review here: http://www.apertoire.net/gogs-an-alternative-to-gitlab/

We'll try to figure something out for the best, thanks for the suggestions.

Gitlab offers an automated import service from Gitorious. This seems to be a very easy solution.

It doesn't really make sense for us to use Gitlab. I think that's the least interesting option that we have.

Probably this helps a little bit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_source_code_hosting_facilities
Is there a way to get the sources in the meanwhile over a different (side-)channel, if I want/need them <now>?

Thanks for that, I hadn't thought of looking at Wikipedia!

I'm not available for that right now, but maybe we can see about it in a week and a half, if that's still needed.
If anyone else has another (clean) solution, please speak up!

If somebody didn't realized. The sources are up again here: https://git.replicant.us/gitweb/
and the source code downloading/updating instructions are also updated: http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/ReplicantSourceCode
This is probably new to someone which doesn't read the blog, (especially this post: http://blog.replicant.us/2015/07/replicant-source-code-hosting-and-rmll-2015/) and just watches this thread.
