git, liggghts, http

Submitted by moritzhoefert on Mon, 04/18/2011 - 11:08

Hello Christoph, hello all,

I am supposed to help to administrate a computing cluster and we are using liggghts and would like to stay up-to-date using git. For some reason we have problems accessing the git repository:

>git clone git://cfdem.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/cfdem/liggghts myliggghts
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/hoefert/programs/test/liggghts/myliggghts/.git/
fatal: Unable to look up cfdem.git.sourceforge.net (port 9418) (Name or service not known)
fetch-pack from 'git://cfdem.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/cfdem/liggghts' failed.

Probably the firewall (which I am not allowed to play around with) blocks the port. On that cluster we already use git with OpenFOAM and it works with the http.

Is it possible to make liggghts available via http?

Thanks a lot for your reply!
Viele Grüße aus Ludwigshafen,
Moritz

our git runs on sourceforge, and we currently do not intent to set up another git because this means a lot of work. Maybe you can download it elsewhere and copy it via a script

Just to clarify: If you have ideas which concrete steps we could take to improve the situation for you, feel free to send me email.

I don't know. Our git runs at sourceforge, you could try asking them for advice.
