Hi Anton,

I have just discovered that old git URLs, mentioned in various web pages
and manuals do not work. For example,

git clone git://common-lisp.net/projects/asdf/asdf.git

fails with

fatal: unable to connect to common-lisp.net:
common-lisp.net[0: 148.251.248.130]: errno=Connection refused
common-lisp.net[1: 2a01:4f8:200:4310::30]: errno=Network is unreachable

Yea. This is too bad, indeed.

New format, as suggested at GitLab project pages:

git clone git@common-lisp.net:asdf/asdf.git

works.

It makes sense, if technically possible, to support old addresses too.

Unfortunately, GitLab doesn't support it at this moment *and* has rejected feature requests to that extent multiple times in the past. There are workarounds documented on the web, but I/we are trying to migrate common-lisp.net to a stable platform and to get away from the old situation where litterally tens of cron jobs stitched holes in the various software packages by running checks every 10 minutes or every hour.

So, personally, I'd like to stick to standard versions and software as much as possible. Would it be an option to simply update the web pages?

Regards,

Bye,

Erik.
