Description Eric Gisse 2014-11-06 18:22:05 UTC
The http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/hardened-refpolicy.git page is currently inaccessible to the general public. http(|s) connection attempts time out.

The git-specific url git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/hardened-refpolicy.git works fine, however, which is probably why this hasn't been noticed.

Could we please get http access to the repository fixed, or update the documentation (eg: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:SELinux/Development ) so that it doesn't point at a non-functional endpoint?

I've updated the wiki page. The eclass (for the live ebuilds) indeed points to both the git and https one. However, the git one is the first one mentioned, so portage doesn't try the https one.

The http(s) access to the repositories is a known issue and is being handled by infrastructure, but might take some time (seeking sponsors for hosting the servers).

Thanks!

For the git hosting, why not do what Tresys does and just do host it within github?

Absent any political issues, that strikes me as a good solution.
