The web host with the http mirror runs Debian Etch while the machine which would host the daemon runs Lenny. Unfortunately, I can't upgrade the git version on the web host which is 1.5.6.5. Would it be better to abandon the web host and only use the daemon? That's not my ideal solution because that machine has hardware problems, but I do have full control and I can install upgrades as needed. The web host (Dreamhost) does offer ssh and regular shell access, so there should be no reason why git-pull, clone, fetch, etc shouldn't work. I'm fairly sure they have rsync also if that would work. Maybe it would be better to use rsync for the Speakup web site and only use the git daemon for the git mirror, assuming linux-speakup.org supports rsync. Also, Dreamhost has much more bandwidth and generally faster connections than the other machine. The daemon machine (called fileserver) is on a business cable connection so it's faster than residential but not as fast as Dreamhost. What are your suggestions? I have full control over my dns records, so I can switch domains around between machines as needed. You can write off-list if you prefer.
