[SOLVED] AUR blackbox-git: cannot clone git repo

Hi

I'm trying to install blackbox-git package from aur.
When I do "makepkg -s" inside unpacked blackbox-git repository I receive the following error message:

==> Making package: blackbox-git 0.70.2-1 (Tue Feb  4 18:19:42 CET 2014)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Retrieving sources...
  -> Cloning blackboxwm git repo...
Cloning into bare repository '/home/jaro/blackbox-git/blackboxwm'...
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com[0: 192.30.252.129]: errno=Connection timed out

In PKGBUILD (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bl/b … t/PKGBUILD) I can see
see that it clones a package from:
http://github.com/bbidulock/blackboxwm

When I do the following manually the repo gets cloned perfectly:
git clone http://github.com/bbidulock/blackboxwm

I cannot just install blackbox from community repo since it does not contain "bt" library required by bbkeys.

Please help me

Try modifying the source URL so that it uses 'git+https://...' instead of 'git://...'.

Works for me.
Edit: I mean the PKGBUILD from the AUR, not WorMzy's suggestion.
