Hello,
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
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.
Best regards, - Anton
Hi Anton,

Yea. This is too bad, indeed.

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?

It is an option. As for the affected project, I saw this in ASDF manual and at https://common-lisp.net/project/alexandria/.
In principle most of the projects having git repositories at cl.net may have links like this published.
I hoped there is an easy workaround, like redirect in HTTP URLs, but if such thing does not exists, I don't have better proposal.
Best regards, - Anton
