Slow clone from git.archlinux.org

Hi all,

Is there an alternate mirror for the "https://git.archlinux.org" endpoint? I often need to clone the kernel sources when updating, and the clone itself runs at ~100KB/s, which results in a multi-hour clone process.

Re: Slow clone from git.archlinux.org

Welcome to the arch linux forums RandomBK.  Are any of the following clone addresses  from [1] faster if so you could clone that,
then add the archlinux hosted kernel source as a remote which would only need to pull the arch releated commits then lastly adjust the PKGBUILD to point to the local git repository.

[1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … linux.git/

In addition to the kernel.org and googlesource mirrors, gregkh has a semi-official mirror on github.

Re: Slow clone from git.archlinux.org

Why are you repeatedly cloning an enormous repository? The obvious remedies are:

1) Clone once, keep the repository so that updates are incremental
2) There is no #2.
3) If #1 and #2 are infeasible, do a shallow clone.
4) #3 is a lie, see #1.
