For all out there that may not be aware, we now have a subdomain at http://projects.archlinux.org where we host some of our internal Arch projects. We have been moving a lot of our projects from other version control systems to GIT as of late, and currently have quite a bunch of these projects hosted, as you can see here: http://projects.archlinux.org/git/

For those interested in helping out with these projects or just following along with the code, we now have a git daemon up and running. All of these projects can still be fetched over http if need be, but using the GIT native protocol is much more efficient.

The following two examples should get you started on cloning one of our projects: (Over HTTP) git clone http://projects.archlinux.org/git/namcap.git namcap (Over GIT) git clone git://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git pacman

Note the slight difference in URLs- for cloning over GIT, no /git directory is used. Happy git-cloning, and we'd really like to see some community participation with these projects if you have something to contribute! Patches always welcome on the mailing lists.

Is this why I can't get the last update on pacman git repo (using http) ? I remember you warned me several times to enable the post-update hook when using http. "# An example hook script to prepare a packed repository for use over dumb transports." Could it be what is missing there? I switched to git protocol, and it worked fine. And I have no reason for using http over git, so that's fine, but I was just curious :)
