git://git.freescale.com/imx/linux-imx.git is down again

Hi 

I try several places to clone this week. All fail.

The git server web access is OK, however, git clone can't be successful.

$ git clone git://git.freescale.com/imx/imx-firmware.git
Cloning into 'imx-firmware'...
fatal: unable to connect to git.freescale.com:
git.freescale.com[0: 192.88.156.202]: errno=Connection timed out

What happened??

Hello, I am also seeing this and seeking a solution.

1) errors

I am also seeing folowing errors since yesterday (as far as I am aware)

>fatal: unable to connect to git.freescale.com:
git.freescale.com[0: 192.88.156.202]: errno=Connection timed out

>fatal: unable to connect to git.freescale.com:
git.freescale.com[0: 192.88.156.202]: errno=Connection timed out

For my command like below, which used to work.

>repo init -u git://git.freescale.com/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b imx-4.1-krogoth -m imx-4.1.15-2.0.0-agl-demo.xml

2) workaround

This maybe server side fault, but since I can see these repository on cgit share, I tried following

(in ~/.gitconfig)

>[url "https://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx"]
> insteadOf = git://git.freescale.com/imx

Initially this seemed to work, but I get the following erros.

>fatal: https://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/meta-fsl-bsp-release/info/refs not valid: is this a git repository?
>fatal: https://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/meta-nxp-agl/info/refs not valid: is this a git repository?

I guess URL constructed by repo command internally is not valid so I am seeing this error.

But I am unable to find a right workaround.

In case accssing via https is safer/more stable, I would like to use that, but in such case I want to know what is the right customization in .gitconfig.

Hi, we are working internally to get this resolved.   The GIT managers are aware of the issue and we are working to find the root cause and solution.  In the meantime, you can navigate to the GIT website in web browser and download packages from there.   We hope to have it resolved soon.

Best regards,
TIC

Hi Carlos,

Seems the git server is still not stable? i'm also failed to clone the code due the connection refused issue.
