git clone of linux-backports-modules-2.6.32 seems broken

Asked by Castor Fu

I tried cloning the lucid lbm git repository described by the ubuntu source package and got the following error with git version 1.7.0.4 on Ubuntu 10.4

% git clone http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git-repos/ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid-lbm.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/castor/bugs/backports/gitdir/ubuntu-lucid-lbm/.git/
fatal: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git-repos/ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid-lbm.git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

If I look with a browser I don't see this file either. Is the repository supposed to be set up for general use?

Thanks,
Castor Fu

Hi Castor,

I was able to git clone using the git protocol instead of HTTP. The URL is different :

git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid-lbm.git

See this for all details :
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid-lbm.git;a=summary

I hope this will help you.

Thanks! Should the Vcs-Git string in debian/control.stub.in be updated to put there?
