GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 743235
Use http protocol for git repositories instead of git protocol
Last modified: 2018-05-05 15:45:49 UTC
I would like to propose replacing the current git endpoints used when fetching (freedesktop) repositories to the alternatives which use http. The port used in the git protocol is often blocked by corporate firewalls.
Yes, should use http/https where possible.
Someone wants to provide a patch?
I've got some patches pending
