[9front] git/clone hangs on netsurf repo

[9front] git/clone hangs on netsurf repo

[Özgür Kesim]

Hi all,

I just installed 9front on my new refurbished TP x280, got
wifi running and wanted to do a sysupdate and install
netsurf, but both fail with a timeout.

Following the instructions on
https://github.com/netsurf-plan9, I get almost all
submodules loaded, but it fails to fetch the netsurf repo.

Here is how the output of a git/clone attempt:

Any ideas?

can't reproduce, cloned in a few seconds. Try again?

I did, multiple times since yesterday.

The "git/get: fetch packfile: 200 OK tls hungup" line
suggests that the server side (or webfs?) ran into a
timeout.  Maybe my wifi is too slow?  (I don't have an
alternative, though).

not sure if wifi is really the problem, but intel 6235 will get better results in that machine:

It may be worth trying to clone over ssh as well. For what its
worth, you should be able to peek at the progress with du:

	du -sh netsurf/.git

For me, it's sitting at about 31 megabytes fully cloned.

i became so exasperated at how slowly a file was downloading over dialup, that some time in the early 2000s i wrote this:

  http://quintile.net/pkg/rc/growth

might raise a smile - don’t grumble if its bitrotted, thats half the fun.

I haven't tried with ssh from 9front yet, but I can
confirm that throttling 'git clone https://...' on my
Linux machine down to 80kb/s (that's what I measured on
9front via tput [thanks @sl!]), leads to the same result:
The server side disconnects during the transmission.

I think I need more cowbell.
