Reopen Issue

= bug description =
Pages like:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=python-linux-procfs.git
say I can git clone http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/git/python-linux-procfs.git, but when I attempt to do this, it breaks.

{{{
[clockfort@clocktop work]$ git clone http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/git/python-linux-procfs.git
Cloning into 'python-linux-procfs'...
fatal: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/git/python-linux-procfs.git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?
[clockfort@clocktop work]$ wget http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/git/python-linux-procfs.git 2>&1 | grep HTTP
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
}}}

= bug analysis =
git:// and ssh:// URIs work; HTTP returns 404.

= fix recommendation =
??? get gitweb to properly generate http:// URLs

Yeah, we have never allowed http cloning. When things were setup, it was very intensive on the server side and much slower, so we didn't enable it. It should be a good deal less so these days, so we could look at doing so.

Also, as a side note, we are looking at moving to cgit from gitweb-caching, but that doesn't change the need to enable http clones.

We have switched to cgit.

Also, we have set things so you can http clone.

This should be fixed now. Please reopen if you still see any issues.
