http://git.eclipse.org should allow to download the archive directly from the website (e.g. like Github [0]). This makes the transition to git a lot easier, as adopters don't need to install git to obtain the code. [0] https://github.com/ECF/Build/archives/master
The feature seems half-enabled, actually, see my comment in this blog post http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2011/06/10/you-dont-have-to-use-git-to-access-code-on-github/comment-page-1/#comment-9809 Webmasters, any constraint from your side (possible bandwidth use?) preventing you to fully enable this cgit feature? Thanks!
http://git.eclipse.org/c/amp/org.eclipse.amp.git/snapshot/master.zip I didn't even know you could do that .. thanks for the tip. In cGit I've explicitly enabled the feature: # Allow download of tar.gz, tar.bz2 and zip-files snapshots=tar.gz tar.bz2 zip I guess there's simply not a UI element for it... although, judging by this, it may have been added recently. http://hjemli.net/git/cgit/log/?showmsg=1&qt=grep&q=snapshot&h=stable&=switch
there _is_ a UI, see http://hjemli.net/git/cgit/commit/?h=stable for example now that you have explicitly set the "snapshots" directive, I guess the link *should* be visible (if I understand the cgit codebase correctly, the UI is available since about 2007!)
http://www.mail-archive.com/cgit@hjemli.net/msg00031.html I figured that would be the cause. I've put the snapshots declaration _before_ scan-path.. I'll refresh the cache and see how that works out.
AHA! http://git.eclipse.org/c/p2/commit/?id=1c18af4d271d44cb2008cadffa89649a068530af
Awesome :) From my perspective you can mark the bug as FIXED, thank you!
> now that you have explicitly set the "snapshots" directive FWIW, the 'snapshots' directive has been enabled on git.eclipse.org since day 1. I had never really looked into why it wasn't working. Thanks for confirming it now works.
