Cannot clone repo

[pditommaso]

I'm playing with gittorrent. Trying to clone a repository it hung reporting the following output:

$ git clone gittorrent://github.com/cbcrg/ampa-nf/
Cloning into 'ampa-nf'...
Okay, we want to get HEAD: 3c2bce5f758585fe3e0bf23df77f6f53853bc3b8
Okay, we want to get master: 3c2bce5f758585fe3e0bf23df77f6f53853bc3b8
Okay, we want to get tags/v1.0: ca3d597ea2149978840d5c7a43e3149079fab184

Any clue what it could be the problem?

@pditommaso I think it just means that no-one's hosting that repo on gittorrent. #5 handles falling back to talking to github directly in the case where no-one's seeding. (Feel free to pitch in!)

[pditommaso]

I see. It makes sense, however I'm still confused.

How I can manage to host that repo on gittorrent? I've tried to clone it locally and then to run the gittorrentd daemon, as show below:

$ git clone git@github.com:cbcrg/ampa-nf.git
$ touch ampa-nf/.git/git-daemon-export-ok
$ gittorrentd
in repo ampa-nf/.git/git-daemon-export-ok
ampa-nf/.git/

errors= []

However I'm still unable to clone it by using the gittorrent protocol. What I'm missing ?

[cjb]

That's surprising, it should work, perhaps a firewall problem?

[pditommaso]

Yes, I think it was the firewall. Trying on another machine it worked. Thanks.

Running into this problem too. Here's the output from gittorrentd

Any ideas? Thanks!

If it's a firewall problem, which process should we tell the firewall to allow? git?
