netfilter.org infrastructure updates

Hi!

We have scheduled March 1st, 2013 (Friday) to perform major maintainance tasks on the netfilter.org infrastructure. For that reason, you may notice temporary disruptions on the service.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards.

It's "only" the infrastructure, or will there be any interesting changes to netfilter.org?
Like more up to date documentation etc. for new developers?

Nevetheless, thanks a lot for the service :)

I see that the gitweb interface has now been changed and it relies on cgit. Since that change was made, I no longer seems able to download gzipped snapshots of the current tree (iptables master/head and the like). This is essential for me as I often need to do this when I am in places where the git protocol isn't available for whatever reason. Could you restore or enable this functionality please?

Please, use daily snapshots from ftp.netfilter.org.

Thanks, though that doesn't allow me to download individual snapshots for specific tags/commits as I was able to do previously. Is this a cgit limitation or you haven't got around to do this yet?

For all other stragglers out there in the same position as myself (and also when ftp is restricted/unavailable), in order to take daily snapshots, you need to access "http://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/<project_name>/snapshot" to download it.
