Mirror not working

Mirror not working

[Tony Baechler]

Hi,

I'm not sure what's wrong, but the Speakup mirror isn't working.  All 
the files appear to be there and I did a git-clone to make sure 
everything is current.  What do I need to do to actually make it work on 
the web?  I can manually go to http://linux.batsupport.com/speakup/ and 
everything is there, so what am I missing?  Do I need to set up a 
symlink or change something somewhere?

When you did the clone, did you use the --mirror option?

I'm not sure if that will fix the issue you are having, but it is a good
thing to do for that type of repository, so you will get all of the
branches.

Also, I recommend that you use the git daemon if possible instead of
having users pull via http; it is much faster with the git protocol.

Thanks,

William

Unfortunately, the server hosting the mirror doesn't support the git 
protocol, so that's not an option.  I didn't know there was a mirror 
option, even though I looked at the help.  I'll do that.  I do have a 
server that could run the git daemon but it's unstable, so not terribly 
useful at the moment.  The server that hosts the mirror is very fast 
with lots of bandwidth, so there shouldn't be much lag with http.
