Introduction and problems cloning repository
Hello All,
First time poster to this mailing list so if I am not following the correct protocol please let me know.
Introduction. I am a firmware developer working for NEC Australia. We are currently developing a MIPS SOC device made by Wintegra.
I am trying to clone the linux-malta.git repository using the command
"git clone http://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/linux-malta.git ./linux-malta.git" but I receieve an "error: Can't lock ref". I have to use http because I am sure port 9418 is blocked by the sysadmin
Regards,
Pak

An good old access permission problem on the web server but I won't have time to sort it out now.
Until then you can use gitcvs to access the repositories:
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/pub/scm/linux.git co -d linux-malta -P <branch>
Where <branch> is one of linux-2.0, linux-2.2, linux-2.4, MaltaRef_2_4, MaltaRef_2_6 and master - if your firewall allows port 2401 that is ...
But why are you still using the linux-malta repository? Since ~ 5 months it is no longer being updated and has effectivly been replaced with linux.git repository. Of this repository there are also snapshots of all tagged versions available.

I had this same problem. Turns out that for the http method of git, you have to use the name 'www.linux-mips.org'. So it would be
git clone http://www.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/linux-malta.git linux-malta.git

Probably because on http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Getting_the_kernel it mentions MIPS technologies is maintaining "a stable and tested kernel with focus on hardware support for ... the Malta Eval board" and I thought it would be quicker to develop with.
Are they no longer doing the maintainace?
